Tell them you're traveling to India and need it. Seriously I have been taking this shit for years (I travel to India to work once a year) and they give it to me without question concern or even a second thought. They mention once side effect to me is that I may have some wicked vivid dreams (never did though).

I get it I am a young healthy male so that may change the things they worry about, I am not a doctor. But to say this shit is dangerous all of a sudden is fucking disingenuous. Because if it is why the fuck have they been handing it out to any American that goes to India without second thought?
