Over the course of 10 mos, I lost 88 lbs on the HCG diet. Within 5 months, I was sleeping 4 hours a night and soon that dwindled to 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. I felt euphoric, and unbeknownst to me, was experiencing an HCG-induced manic episode which led me to suddenly quit my long-term job. I lost nearly everything--my career, the vast majority of my friends, my life savings, my credit…and worst of all, my reputation. I am now 1 1/2 years post-HCG disaster and I still cannot work and I don't know if I ever will. HCG ruined my life, and the doctor who prescribed my injections is still prescribing. I could not live with myself if one more person experienced the nightmare I went through, and since my story has been ignored by the College of Medicine and Federal agencies, with my psychiatrist's encouragement I am pursuing litigation and writing a book.
