A TEENAGER whose drink was spiked inside a Southend club on her first night out says she fears going out again after she was left suffering from violent seizures.

Millie Taplin, 18, was left “possessed” and “completely out of it” after the incident inside Moo Moos, on Warrior Square on Saturday night.

The brave teen, who has now fully recovered, has issued her own warning to party-goers who could be in a similar situation.

She says she’s struggling mentally and worries about going out again.

She said: “It can be really hard to prevent, because it can happen to anyone and at anytime.

“You have to be so aware and careful.

“But it’s not about being suspicious around everyone.

“I feel physically fine now, it’s just mentally I’m struggling.

“I’m anxious and nervous about going out again, but I’m just trying to get back to normal.”

Millie suffered with seizures at Southend Hospital overnight, and had no feeling in her hands, feet, or legs, and unable to walk or talk as a result of the unknown substance in the drink.

This comes as charities have issued advice to teenagers attending night clubs for the first time, just like Millie.

The teenager believes her drink was spiked by a man who had been talking to her and her friends during the night, and had brought two drinks back from the bar.

A police probe has now been launched into the incident, with the nightclub co-operating with enquiries.

Millie’s mum shared the disturbing video of her daughter online to raise awareness.

She told the Echo earlier how she had “no idea what was going on” while Millie was having a seizure.

Millie continued: “I couldn’t be more grateful for my friends, they were by my side the whole time.

“We all went to school together, they’re the best.

“I remember quite a lot about it.

“I remember feeling sick and going to get some air.

“I was then sick and then started losing feeling in my hands and feet.

“And then my hands started to get locked in that position.”

A statement from Moo Moos, said: “We urge all customers to be present when their drink is ordered and that they do not leave it unattended.

“The alleged drink spiked appears to have been accepted from a person known to the lady affected and whilst it was not reported to us at the time, we are assisting the police who are dealing with the matter.”

No arrests have been made.
