Hi, I know right on the package it says may cause

dizzyness but come on. I am so dizzy and I just

took my first dose about and hour and a half ago.

Does this usually go away over time?

Dizziness is a very very common Babs herx so this although listed as a side effect may actually be a Herx- my dizziness on Babs meds lessened dramatically to zilch over time but when I first started mepron and then again when I first started Artemisia was dramatic (I got wobbly!!!!!! Was so dizzy!)

So don't despair*)!*)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the dizziness from taking malarone definitely goes away! But it is prominent at first. For me, the dizziness after taking malarone lasted 1-2 weeks, but then the dizziness from the babs herx lasted a few weeks longer than that.

Anyway, the dizziness did subside and go away, and malarone is effective for babs in my experience. So hang in there!!
