  • Scott Purdy, 23, wants to stay on Pregabalin which he believes turned him gay
  • Told This Morning he 'was not happy' when he briefly stopped taking the drug
  • He claims he previously experimented in his teens but did not enjoy experience
  • Dr Ranj Singh said medication could not make him gay but 'reduced anxiety'

 

A man who claims a painkiller drug 'turned him gay' says he plans to stay on the drug because he fears he will 'go back to being straight' if he stops using it.

Unemployed Scott Purdy, 23, claims Pregabalin, also known as Lyrica, turned him homosexual and killed his interest in his former girlfriend.

He appeared on ITV's This Morning today to explain the situation and he also told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield he had previously been bi-curious in his teens but did not enjoy the experience.

Mr Purdy, who has been on painkillers since breaking his foot in a go-karting accident in 2012, said: 'All I craved was male attention so I thought it was a bit weird and stopped taking it just in case. 

'As soon as that happened my sexual attraction towards my ex-girlfriend went back up and I was more intimate and cuddly and it was normal again. But the pain started building back up and so I started taking Pregabalin again.

‘I’m really happy now I’m back on it and the fear is that if I stop taking it I will go back to who I was and I don’t want to do that.’

'It's very confusing to me and right from the start I don't know whether it was the pill, or whether it just opened me up to be happier, but when I stopped taking it for that short time I was not happy.' 

Mr Purdy, who now hopes to find love with a man on dating sites, added: 'Before the accident I would go out, enjoy life and I had quite a few girlfriends.

Ha; Mr. Purdy wants to be Drug Dependent, apparently... Did he ever try Rower 714....C16H14N2O (quaaludes) (pint of whisky in tablet form) or did another guy try it on him? He & Bill Cosby will have something in common... Like them Drugs, for what ever purpose!!  After his tall tale....Attention is on the way...What a wannabe drug induced Glamour Star.  23 & needs to grow up...Easy way or the Hard Way... Time will tell.

Just hope he doesn't commit suicide along the way,  growing up - screwed up on drugs.
