Hello, ...Thanks to Bob Fiddaman for posting this.<br /> <br />Hello, <br /> <br />The pathologist's report indicated a large concentration level of citalopram in the blood, There was also a trace of alcohol and opiate--(the half life of this drug is very long--remember Sher had been given this for the broken hand). It's certainly possible Sheryl was a poor metaboliser-(PM), and if so, did this cause akathisea, and drug induced overdose? I cannot honestly say. But her GP testified that Sheryl had not presented to her as suicidal when she issued the script. Even so the coroner was certainly leaning towards a verdict of suicide, and said so in summation, and would have returned that verdict, had it not been for Claudette's testimony about Sheryl's personality, which he found very compelling. Hence the open verdict. Whatever else--PM, serotonin syndrome, or even suicide, it was certainly an adverse drug event. Sher wouldn't have died had she not taken it. In my opinion it was a classic ADR.<br /> <br />Regards,<br /> <br />Stuart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
