After the first 3 days had a horrible herx, and then got so much better.
Some things that have happen since Malarone are hair loss, dry eyes, and I have a rash near my left eye. Every time I take the Malarone within 15minutes the rash gets dry and sore.
On my third week of Malarone I experienced fatigue, and weak eyelids.
After my first herx, I did have 7 glorious days of high energy, and now it's all gone.

Hi Kat,
Everyone seems to have a different reaction -- it is truly variable.
Truth is, my eyes did not bother me until today. So I do not think it is the malarone. And no hair loss. Did you speak to your doctor about it?

Is malarone the only med you are on? I would call the pharmacist just to see what the side effects are of the meds u are on.

Dear Katcon,
I had to drink lots of water while on malarone...
I often had to wet my contacts at the end of the day so I could get them off of my eyes.
I have had a couple of contacts tear and it took me a couple of hours to "fish" those torn
Pieces out of my eye!
I finished malarone about 3 weeks ago, but continue with dry eyes.
My hair is also starting to fall out....by the handfulls.
I think this may be more related to thyroid issues than meds
As I haven't seen this as a side effect to any meds I am on.
