I am not sure there is a link...

When my husband fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur war, he was sent on the other side of the Suez canal into Egypt and had to take Lariam for 6 weeks...

No effect...

When I consulted in Equatorial Africa I took it for a few weeks...

No effect either...

My wife and I, along with my brother- and sister-in-law, took it for approx. 1 month in 1999 in S. Africa.

None of us had any ill effect, to my knowledge.
