I almost died after using an 80 pound skinny jab I bought from Facebook. Now I am afraid that it contains class A drugs.

A healthcare worker ‘almost died’ after using dry injections bought on social media and fearing they contained cocaine.

Paige Roberts visited her doctor worried about the bloating around her stomach caused by the hormonal disorder polycystic ovary syndrome.

The 24-year-old said she was told by her GP to: lose weight.

But after not getting any results from diet and exercise, Ms. Roberts decided to take more drastic measures. Facebook As a way to get rid of unwanted belly fat.

Mr Roberts, from Llandudno, north Wales, said it was very easy to find a seller online and he paid £80 for four injectables that claimed to suppress the user’s appetite.

The morning after Ms Roberts used her first jab, she started feeling dizzy and nauseated and soon became unable to drink water without vomiting.

After vomiting for three days, Mr Roberts was rushed to hospital, where doctors claimed he may have been drugged in the jab due to his dilated pupils and elevated heart rate.

Doctors have also told her that many of the counterfeits are ‘just speed’, but Ms Roberts fears the jab may just be combined with cocaine.

Ms Roberts went to her doctor worried about bloating around her stomach caused by the hormonal disorder polycystic ovary syndrome.

After purchasing the injectable medication online, Ms Roberts began feeling unwell and said she would vomit every time she drank water.

After ordering, the injection came in the mail with a pre-made syringe, which Ms Roberts injected into her stomach last Thursday, November 7.

But the next morning, Mr Roberts said he began to feel noticeably unwell.

“I was a little hesitant to use it at first because it came in a syringe,” Roberts said. But I read some stuff from a chemist and the pharmacy had a syringe so I thought I’d give it a try.

‘I did it at night because I felt fine. I went to bed and woke up the next day feeling like I had a cold and feeling sick.

‘I just thought I’d get over it because they warned me it could hurt you. Every time I drank water I would vomit and I thought this wasn’t right.

‘On the train home I started feeling much worse. My heart was racing, my body was shaking, I couldn’t stop throwing up, and I felt dehydrated. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was hungry, but I couldn’t eat.’

Mr Roberts was rushed to hospital that night when his symptoms began to worsen. There, doctors say they were told the injections may have contained drugs.

“I felt like I couldn’t move, I had no energy and I was dizzy,” she said. I felt like I was going to collapse.

A healthcare worker paid £80 for four injectables that claimed to suppress the user’s appetite.

Facebook says it does not allow the sale of skinny jabs on its platform and will ban accounts when it becomes aware of them.

Mr Roberts then called 111 but was told there would be long waiting times in A&E and decided to ‘get over it’ and wait until the next day.

‘The next morning my mother took me to the hospital. They thought the injection might have contained drugs because my pupils were dilated, shiny, and my heart rate was quite high.

‘They said they see a lot of jabs like this and it’s a normal rate. I think what’s found in these jabs is cocaine based. It may have been cocaine-related.

‘I think there was something in there, it could have been cocaine. I’m upset and really angry that I sold this.

‘I could have easily lost my life. I felt like I was going to die. It felt like I had been spiked.’

Mr Roberts was able to return home after his symptoms began to improve, but said he felt lucky to be alive after injecting an unknown substance into his body.

She said, ‘I have PCOS and my stomach is very bloated.’ I don’t have periods at all. She then went to her doctor for help and told him she was struggling with her periods, weight and bloating.

‘I’m not a big girl, but my gynecologist told me I needed to lose weight to see her. I was about a size 14/16 so not the skinniest nor very tall.

Mr Roberts said he could easily have ‘lost his life’ after getting the jab.

The 24-year-old set a goal to lose weight through exercise, but when that didn’t work, she decided to look for another method on social media.

‘I just didn’t like how bloated I felt about myself. I tried many exercises and diets to get rid of this bloating, but it wouldn’t go away. Nothing worked. I think I’m pregnant. You can get there, but it takes much longer.

‘So I went and looked into weight loss exercises. I’ve seen a lot about it on social media.

Mr Roberts claims the seller blocked him on social media after he messaged his page complaining about the jab and asking for a refund.

In response to previous reports of skinny jabs being sold through the platform, a Facebook spokesperson said it does not allow the sale of the drug and removes offending accounts when it discovers them.

She added: ‘I tried to buy it through Boots Chemists but I couldn’t get the jab because I didn’t meet their obesity criteria. So that’s when I turned to Facebook to find the jab.

‘And it was very easy to find. There was luggage everywhere. I reached out to one page and they offered 4 jabs for £80.

‘I didn’t have to tell them my weight or any details. It was so easy. They’ve posted lots of before and afters that look really good.’

While Facebook claims to remove content about weight loss that contains miraculous claims and attempts to buy, sell, trade, donate or gift weight loss products, it restricts content related to weight loss products to those under 18. It works.

They claimed they were continuously working to improve their detection capabilities and urged people to report anything they believe violates their policies so they can review and take action.
