By looking at your @ jes...name I understand that you like to know the facts.
I don't remember what I wasn't allowed to say. It had to do with details of the case. I think there were 3 things that the attorneys stipulated could not be said to the jury. I just can't remember what they were. At the trial it was kind of strange. I was asked only a few introductory questions, and then I spent 15 or 20 minutes explaining what happened. My neurologist had recorded what he saw, and it was played for the jury. My therapist drove to Portland, where the trial was held, and made a statement.
The prescription was an antidepressant, and I was given some other psychotropic medication, something that used to be given to people in mental institutions, to sedate the difficult patients. I can't imagine what the pharmacist was thinking, prescribing such a medication. I would think that he knew what he was giving me, and one would think that he would have warned me about the risks associated with it.
Oh well. I survived. I read the entire information paperwork for a new medication, and I usually read it for meds I've been taking for years. Plus I check online for interactions every few months.
Live and learn.
Jim
