Teen who had drink 'spiked' panicked at thought of going out ever again

A teenager who was left hospitalised after having her drink "spiked" says she feels panicked about the thought of going on a night out ever again.

Millie Taplin, 18, was left almost paralysed and looked "possessed" after accepting a drink in a nightclub from a man.

Millie's mum released a video of the state that her daughter was in in a bid to warn people about being spiked.

Today Millie appeared on This Morning alongside her sister Sadie to speak about her experience.

She told Ruth and Eamonn how she felt just minutes after having the drink, she said: "I got pins and needles in my hands and my eyes went blurry.

"We hear a lot about being spiked, but you don't think its ever gong to happen to you."

Millie left the club with her friends and then was sick outside, with her friends calling her older sister Sadie to help.

Sadie said: "I could just hear the panic and she was so frightened, I knew it was more than just drunk."

Sadie drove Millie to hospital and their mum met them there.

Millie said: "I knew everything that was going on it was just scary, you're so aware but I couldn't do anything about it."

Millie said she was embarrassed and horrified when she saw the video, but agreed her mum could release it to raise awareness.

She said: "No one shows what you're like when you're in that state, someone had made me be like that, I think people need to see the effects of it.

"I can not stress how careful you have to be with your drink.

"I would love to go back out but now it's more of a panic feeling, I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself on a night out now which is a shame."
