Prescribed for military deployment to Afghanistan. No problems for 1st month (once per week). After one month--amazing "hi-def" dreams. Next came most HORRIFIC dreams screaming to awakening! Scared hell out of room-mate! Changed to doxicylene ASAP! Don't take this shit! YIKES!!!!

Was prescribed this medication for prophylaxis treatment. Was on it for almost 3 months. First 3 - 4 weeks I experienced vivid but not overly troubleing dreams. By 4th week I became very agressive and had difficulty sleeping. After two months began to experience anxiety and paranoia (thought co workers were "out to get me"). At 9 weeks I experienced "night terrors" the night I took my dose. Anxiety became worse and I started to feel alternating anger and depression. The day of my last dose I felt like I was shot with methadrine for the entire day. I finally realized the symptoms were worst on days I took this medicine. I did not realize how badly this drug was effecting my disposition and behavior. After the last dose I sought out medical treatment and was switched to doxycycline and given ambien to aid in sleeping over the next week. Have people around you who are aware of possible side effects if you are using this medication.
