Woman's Skin "Melted Off" After She Was Given the Wrong Dosage Of Antidepressant!

This is extremely sad and crazy how easy this could happen to anyone.



26-year-old Khaliah Shaw sought medication after she was suffering from depression and was prescribed anti-seizure medication lamotrigine, marketed as Lamictal in the U.S in 2014, which has triggered Stevens Johnson Syndrome.



Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a rare and serious disorder that is often caused by an adverse reaction to medication and causes the skin to blister, ‘burning from the inside out’ as Khaliah describes it.



Within weeks of taking the drug, Ms Shaw claims blisters broke out over her body. She told the news outlet she was “in excruciating pain” and felt like she was “on fire”.



The ordeal led to her diagnosis of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare skin disorder that usually occurs in reaction to a medication or an incorrect dosage.



Ms Shaw spent five weeks in a medically induced coma while her skin slowly peeled off. She told the news outlet that the syndrome left her skin scarred and she is slowly losing her vision, while her finger nails might never grow back.



The syndrome has no cure and doctors told her she might relapse.



“They’re telling me this could happen again, and they’re telling me if it did happen again, that it would be worse,” Ms Shaw told 11Alive.
