I am a Vietnam veteran, I was staring down the barrel of a 1911 considering trying to blow my own brains out in a state of psychosis due to Lariam - also known as Mefloquine. As a drug class, it is a Quinoline - as is HCQ, it is the Q in HCQ. All anti-malarials are quinolines

"mefloquine psychosis" is the general term if you want scientific studies. Here is one article that describes the symptoms pretty well:

Or in this case:

Anti malarials exist because malaria is the single deadliest disease in human history, ranging from 10% to over 50% of all humans that have ever lived. That is because malaria is not a virus or a bacteria, it is a parasite. An acute attack has about a 10% death chance for a healthy adult without treatment, and it stays in your blood for the rest of your life. With that you get attacks every few years if you don't wipe it out of your system. If you at an age where the flu can kill you, those attacks can kill you. If that is the risk you face, sure, take that medication. Covid is a flu though, not a 10% chance of death for the average healthy young adult and then a 100% chance at a flu every few years. Even at my age, nearly 80, Covid only has a death rate of around 3-4% when you de-fuck the data
