(Photo: Splash Photo Agency) Solange Knowles -- Beyonce's younger sister -- has been released from the hospital after she collapsed from taking too many flu pills while on a flight out of New York Tuesday night.
Knowles was treated by medics after taking the capsules onboard a plane. She apparently suffered an adverse reaction to the medication.
She twittered during the entire flight and subscribers could tell that something was wrong. Three hours into the trip, her messages suddenly stopped after she complained of feeling sleepy - and three hours later she logged back on to the website to tell fans she was in the hospital. Here are her tweets below:
Turns out she took too many NyQuil pills.
"I took a nyquil and i think maybe im getting high off it because im not sleeping. maybe i should close my eyes..."
Minutes later she added,
"think im certified loosing (sic) it on nyquil. Going to sleep before i start freestyling on the plane... omg (Oh my God) i didnt know nyquil could do this to you. i took the pills tho. cant stomach cough syrup. Trying to be proactive on this flight."
She then added:
"Never taking nyquil again. I feel so weird."
