[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other defendants have tried an "Ambien defense," but I don't think they've been successful.[/quote]

And I’m sure the psychiatrist explained the side effects which are also prominently displayed on prescriptions.  I think they’re trying to set up a medical malpractice/wrongful death case and I hope they don’t prevail assuming the psychiatrist was following the standard of care.  I think it’s common to try different medicines to find what works and that seems like what the doctor was doing here.[/quote]

Which brings us back to why would anyone leave three small children with someone on these drugs?[/quote]

Because she showed no signs of being a danger to herself or the kids. Because  she had been cleared to be alone. So many reasons, but it's clear that you just want to pin this on her husband and make him the bad guy [/quote]

Maybe he should have read the warning labels on all the drugs she was being given, especially since that appears to be their defense. It’s a big can of worms they are opening. [/quote]
Perhaps physicians should more seriously consider the potential side effects and drug interactions prior to doling these meds out like candy. It’s not the patient, nor the family’s responsibility to recognize side effects and interactions. they trusted that the physicians would be aware of and monitoring this, but sadly even many physicians aren’t even aware of anything regarding mixing and stopping and starting drugs. I have seen and experienced this first hand and it’s infuriating.[/quote]

Yes it is the patient’s responsibility to read the information from the pharmacy, including disclosures on potential side effects.  That is exactly why they give them out with every prescription.  [/quote]
