26 Feb
Summary
- Tammy Slaton experienced a mental breakdown due to incorrect medication dosage.
- Her weight loss led to a dosage too high for her smaller body size.
- Doctors adjusted her prescriptions to help stabilize her mood.

Tammy Slaton, a prominent figure from the TLC series '1000-lb Sisters,' has revealed a recent mental health crisis. She experienced a severe breakdown, which she attributes to being on an incorrect dosage of her depression medication. This issue arose after her substantial weight loss, as her dosage had not been reduced to match her smaller physique.
Doctors conducted blood work and determined her medication levels were excessively high for her current body size, inducing a state of manic depression. Consequently, five prescriptions were discontinued, and the remaining ones were adjusted. Slaton is currently in the process of adapting to her new medication regimen.
Her struggles intensified to a point where she was described as "very stressed out" and overwhelmed, sometimes blacking out and saying things that felt out of character. The situation prompted her to seek professional help. Slaton's candor about her journey, including her 500-pound weight loss and current weight of 238 pounds, has resonated with viewers.
