Last year, starting July 5th till August 20th, at the age of 15, I am female, I had to take this devil of a drug. For nearly a month, after getting out of a hospital for a massive kidney infection caused by a kidney stone. The month I went through was a total hell; I was up all night, nearly every night, vomiting what I had managed to eat during the day. Cause of this I lost over 50 lbs and became underweight, from being unable to safely eat without vomiting minutes after the consumption of food. It gave me pseudotumor cerebri, and papilloedema which has nearly ruined my eyesight. It has also caused psychological effects with me caused by hallucinations, I cannot sleep without a nightlight, I am very paranoid of mirrors now, it has left me with depression and paranoia. I do not recommend this drug to anyone, as I am afraid it could cause death! I truly would wish this on no one, not even my enemies.

I am so sorry this happened to you and I am also horrified by your story. These drugs are never meant for anyone under the age of 18. They're evil for those over 18, but much worse for those under 18. Wasn't there anything else they could've given you? Don't let your doctor off the hook. Maybe he/she can't undo what they've done, but at least they should know so they never do it to another young person. What you have been through is so terrible. I am praying for your complete recovery. May God bless you.
