The Jaw-Dropping Culprit: Meds Gone Wrong After Epic Weight Loss!

After shedding HUNDREDS of pounds (queen energy, right?), Tammy felt totally “off.” She headed to the doc for blood work, and BAM – the reveal hit like a truck. Her prescriptions were still dosed for her old, heavier body! Way too high for her slimmer self, causing chaos in her brain chemistry.

It was me, but it wasn’t me,” Tammy admitted. Y’all, imagine blacking out mid-argument – scary stuff!
