I want to sue the N.H.S. for medical negligence what should I do ? I have drug-induced hypothyroidism?They put me on Paroxetine and Quetiapine and I contracted hypothyroidism. Can I sue them for medical negligence ? A pharmacist told me Quetiapine induces low thyroxine levels so that made me suspicious of foul play. I also read that Paroxetine can rarely induce hypothyroidism too. I cannot prove it but seems clear to me what induced hypothyroidism as I was perfectly healthy before I took any of these drugs. Apparently according to research on the internet lithium in these drugs causes the thyroid to go hypo. Do I have a case of medical negligence ? If so what should I do ?

You can’t sue based off of that. You cannot sue due to a side effect of a medication. You could sue if there was a potential major interaction between the medications. However, that is not the case. If it is drug induced, as soon as you remove the medication, the condition will go away.References : pharmacy student
