Treatment worse than the disease

Ran into Virginia Mason for shots and to get a prescription for malaria meds today. One of the pills (Mefloquine) has multiple psychotic side effects including suicide ideation, permanent central nervous system damage, unusual dreams, and hallucinations. Now I like ruining my senses as much as the next guy, so I opted for the less intese Malarone. Makes me wonder though, how much could I get if I hocked those other meds off to some ex-pat. Any takers?
