Hi there.
This is my first post in here..
My name is Susan, Im 29 and am married and have a 2 year and half boy.

The thing started a year and half ago.
It started when a friend of mine convinced me to take this fat burning pill that it is supposed to make u lose weight. Im anti slimming pill so I was hesitant to take it. She was taking it, along with her husband and mother, all of the lost weight! i was like what r u feeling, shes like nothing, it will work out! so I was stupid and started the pill one day, and after a couple of days I started feeling stuff, like, insomnia, fast heartbeat, my mouth was soooooooooooo dry, and it was burning! i felt something stuck in my throat too! I was so worried I said I will stop it, but my friend told me it will go away! I continued and the symptoms got so much worse, my tongue started to crack! I felt like a dragon! that moment I sstopped it, and the next thing I heard is that the pill isnt herbal its just a copycat for Reductil, which contains the ingredient of Sibutramine.

After I stopped it, I felt miserable, I still had few symptoms, my tongue would return to its normal texture, and my mouth was still burning and its so dry! Until now, a year and half after Im still like this. Ah and also would like to add that tongue is very sensitive, it burns from toothpaste, from sweet food, spicy food. Sometimes out of nothing it bleeds the tip of my tongue from the taste buds I dont know!!

First thing I went to a gastrointestinal doctor, he had an endoscopy done, and said I had GERD, I was like WTF, since when?? anyway I was put on Pariet for 6 months but still wasnt cured. Then I went to see a Thyroid doctor, who had tests done and everything was normal. Then sent me to a ENT doctor, which said he will just put a note that I might have sjogren's syndrome I was like OMG!!!!!! Anyway, the ENT sent me to see a joint doctor, dermatologist and another gastrointestinal doctor. all ruled out sjogren's symptom.. The dermatologist and gastrointestinal said that maybe it could be something related to a cranial nerve.. the doc prescribed for me Neurontin and told me to start it with 300mg and increase it to 900mg. But the gastro doc had me on a treatment that said if it doesnt work to start Neurontin. I had my liver checked, everything! Vit B, V, Magnesium.. the gastro doc put me on Zinc during the treatment that should go for 20 days and which have passed! Ahh, seems I forgot to add that some docs thought it was a candida thrush.. did so many things like taking Diflucan and Daktarine gel on the mouth.

So a few days ago I decided to see a Neurologist, which honestly I didnt like, but he was checking me and he was like what if its candida I told him it isnt! anyway he continues with his talking and then i told him about Neurontin, then he said he doesnt think I need it that maybe it is an allergic reaction to something, what? why am I like this for more than a year then!!!

So Im taking Neurontin, and Im up yesterday to 900mg, but there is something weird going on, yesterday I lost my taste and smell sense. I have no idea whats going on? is this normal from Neurontin?? Im so so so so so MISERABLE, at work Im not ME, at home am always moody because Im not ok, Im not comfortable, Im not the old Susan, something took over me and its ruining me and ruining my life.!! Please someone guide me what should I do
