Hubby had a siezure as a result of a head injury. About 11 mo later he was struggling with some depression (partly because of his injury) and his physician prescribed Zoloft to help deal with it. When Hubby finally reached the full dosage (he was started on a lower dose and then worked up to the one the Dr prescribed) that same day he suffered a second siezure. This second siezure occured about one year after after his first. What I discovered after reading up on Zoloft online at WedMD and Pfiser's websites was that Zoloft was contra-indicated for individuals who had had any siezures. When I confronted the physician with this information he denied it and said there hadn't been any risk and this was just a fluke. This particular physician has also done other things with members of my family that cause me to question his reliability. What I'm asking is, 'Is the physician telling me stories? Should he have at least warned us that this was a possibility? Are there any other medications that would have been more appropriate for hubby's particular situation?' Unless there was a severe malpractice problem I would not pursue anything but I am asking for my own peace of mind. I'm unsure that I should trust any of my family (parents and grandparents included) to this particular physician.
