Brief Answer:
PLease, return to eating.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about you hurting your back. Nausea and vomiting is a known side effect of this drug and that probably explains why you had that pain. I will encourage you to start eating without fear again. It would help protect the stomach for acid aggression as well as provide energy for you to keep going.

This drug is a controlled substance. Though you took it for justified reasons, avoid taking drugs that were not prescribed to you as it may get you into unintended difficult situations.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
