My friend used xasten, 8tabs a dayfor weeks. She stopped when I told her it has bad side effects. the ish.now is she said she first started having cramps in the midnight, cramps like menstrual pain, this will either cause her to vomit and poo or just poo alone. The pain stops a few minutes after that.
Now she has a late period, and she has pre menstrual symptoms. initially, her period may be early this month and late the other month
For d past three days, she has been throwing up and stooling after meals.

what could be wrong.

What is Xasten?

She wanted to gain weight?

It beats my imagination to know that a person can with his/her own hands decide to cause havoc to themselves. She is facing d withdrawal symptoms of "mau mau". D vomiting and stooling will pass but my fear now is that she must have tampered with her hormones and have got her menstrual cycles messed up. She really needs to see a gynaecologist asap.
But if the vomiting and stooling is unabated, she should go to the hospital.
