to anti-malarial tablets whenever I have taken them over the last ten years. I am redheaded and very fair skinned. I find that if I take them in the morning the give me extreme (more than usual!!) sun sensitivity and if I take them at night I find that they give me very unusual (hallucinating style) dreams. My GP said these reactions werent uncommon.
I have heard from some professional (?!) travellers that they keep the tablets with them buy only take them if they start to show signs of infection, which obviously negates any side effects - although I am not sure you would want to risk this?
