News<\/a>. “Also, I went to the doctors did a bunch of blood work, and my medication, it was such a high dose for my bigger body and now that I’m not so big, it was too high for my body size.”<\/p>\n The dosage issue, she revealed, had serious consequences.<\/p>\n “It just kind of put me in a manic depression state,” she added. “And was making me have a mental breakdown. So, they took me off five prescriptions that I didn’t need any more and then they lowered the rest of them.”<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n ‘I Don’t Feel Like Myself’ The reality star began therapy as she worked to stabilize her mood.<\/p>\n After filling in her siblings \u2014 Chris Combs and Misty Slaton \u2014 Tammy admitted she was still adjusting to the changes.<\/p>\n “I’m still trying to get used to my medication,” she shared. “So, I still don’t feel like myself.”<\/p>\n Chris confessed that learning doctors had significantly altered Tammy\u2019s prescriptions was a “shock,” but he made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n “Continue to take care of yourself,” Chris told Tammy. “Cause at the end of the day, if you feel better, it will make our lives better too.”<\/p>\n MORE ON:<\/p>\n 1000-Lb Sisters<\/p>\n Want OK! each day?

It was me, but it wasn’t me. I don’t know how else to explain it.”<\/p>\n The emotional strain also created distance<\/a> between Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton<\/a>, particularly as Amy prepared to marry Brian Lovvorn.<\/p>\n “I just want to let it go,” Tammy told Chris and Misty about offering another apology to Amy. “If Amy replies to me, if she doesn’t, I understand. I just kind of feel like it just mainly for Andrea. I truly feel like she’s inviting me because she wants Andrea there, I just don’t want to go somewhere that I’m not wanted.”<\/p>\n Tammy Makes Progress With Sister Amy Family tensions linger as Amy’s wedding approaches.<\/p>\n Still, there was a noticeable shift when Tammy joined Andrea to shop for Amy’s “something blue” ahead of the wedding. The outing marked a turning point.<\/p>\n “The past few weeks I been going to therapy and getting help with my mood swings,” Tammy said alongside Andrea. “So, a few days ago, I decided to go to Amy’s wedding because I needed to support her. Because I love her. I’m proud of her.”<\/p>\n Andrea admitted the progress has not always been linear.<\/p>\n “I think Tammy thinks people are rushing her to get better,” she shared. “I feel like we’re making progress and then she backtracks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HEALTHSource: @queentammy86\/Instagram Tammy Slaton revealed a medication dosage mix-up triggered severe mood swings as she works to repair…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[102,1906,6623,50,129402,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-450313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth","tag-news","tag-top-slots","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"image](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1000-lb-sisters-tammy-slaton-medication-mix-up-triggered-manic-depression-1-1772034759592.jpg\")
