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 ?

Call a lawyer, They will be able to tell you if there is a case.

you don't have a case , as you can't prove it was drug induced best get changed to new meds
hypo is not the worse thing in the world to have all you do is take a tablet thyroxine, which brings you back to normal level

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.
