What Doesn't Kill You

Ellis Page is trapped. She has been through the worst year of her life. Her mother has passed, leaving only a broken watch in her memory, along with Ellis' s baby brother Eli of course. Ellis' s father is the leader of Juria and Ellis's worst enemy. To add on to that, there is now a new medication that helps all people with their basic needs, which Ellis refuses to take.
Are there any other symptoms with the medication other than drowsiness?
Or is Ellis's father planning something beyond his shiny shoes?
