Mefloquine seems much more notable for adverse neuropsychological side effects.
This was a big worry for me around ten years ago, when travelling to Africa while suffering from an anxiety/panic disorder. I was desperate to avoid taking anything that could make it worse. Doxycycline seemed like the safest choice at the time (and the cheapest!)
I was going to guess that drug too:

I thought malarone was safer...
