In a recent Instagram post, Malina gave fans more information about the medical study and what it entailed. She explained that she figured it was a “win-win” and signed up for the study. They gave Varya two different antidepressants, slowly increasing the dose while checking out her blood pressure and heart rate.

While the study was supposed to end in early July, with all the side effects, the doctors made the decision to taper her down. Varya went on to list the side effects she was suffering. These included anxiety at first until they increased the dosage. She suffered from vertigo, muscle weakness, dizziness, hand-shaking and illiteracy. Meanwhile, Varya joked about the last side effect, saying that might have nothing to do with the pills.

Despite the fact that she couldn’t continue with the study, the great news is that she will still be paid in full, so she “didn’t suffer for free!” Malina did note that any sane person knows that “free cheese happens only in a mousetrap.” In fact, her post referred to Katniss of Hunger Games, volunteering as a tribute.

While Varya was released from the medical study, with doctors tapering down her dosage of antidepressants, she will still get paid in full. Meanwhile, it is likely that bad side effects are also part of the medical study itself.

As for the cash, she earned an impressive $3,500 for her participation in the medical study.
