Hi everyone!
I'm planning a trip to central america in about 6 weeks, and I should take an anti-malarial.
For those of you who don't know/remember me, I've had major depression for many years, currently taking Wellbutrin (IR), 150mg 2xday, plus 50mg Trazodone at bedtime for sleep.
That's the kicker. If you have a history of mental illness, you're strongly advised not to take certan anti-malarials. But somehow I can't find a webpage that compares the options.
Has anyone been able to choose a safe antimalarial drug? Doxicycline is safe, but causes stomach issues and sun sensitivity, and I won't necessarily have the option to stay out of the sun so I'm leaving that for a last-ditch choice, if nothing else works out.
Thanks!
