Pick your poison

Michael and I just put the following into our stomachs.  We are sorta wondering why after reading the side effect list...

MEFLOQUINE 250 MG patient education pamphlet (anti-malaria medication)

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS: SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach pain, fever, hair loss (um...what?), ringing in the ears, dizziness (yeah, I'm starting to get some of this), drowsiness, diarrhea (and there's your big boy), insomnia, strange dreams (alright which is it - will we sleep or not?), or lightheadedness.  If they continue or are bothersome (I'm sorry, "bothersome"?  Ingrown hairs are bothersome - strange noises in our attic are bothersome - this is just scary!), check with your doctor.  CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY (you don't say???) if you experience fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; seizures; severe or persistent cough; shortness of breath; muscle pain; loss of coordination; numbness; and tingling of hands or feet; or vision changes.  CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience unexplained anxiety (havin some right. now.), mood changes, depression that may include thoughts of hurting yourself (how could we when it sounds like this pill is pretty much gonna finish us off all by itself), hallucinations, restlessness, or confusion. 

Confusion?  CONFUSION?!  I'm very confused as to what's actually left that this pill is going to help us AVOID!
