New Hampshire (only U.S. law)?
A few weeks ago I had been having trouble breathing and getting really dizzy so I went to the doctor and discovered I had a sinus AND an ear infection. He prescribed me an antibiotic so I went to Riteaid and picked it up and took it for 2 weeks. The entire time I felt like I was getting worse, I was extremely tired, and I started getting panic attacks (something I hadn't experienced for months). So I called the doctor and asked what was up. Turns out they gave me the wrong prescription. The pharmacist gave me some other guy named Thomas Cunninghams's pills that were a substitute for zoloft. So for 2 weeks I was taking some anti depressant instead of what I needed to get better. I went back and traded it in for what I was suppose to get, it even had the old date on it. They had it there the whole time and all they said was sorry.
I want to take legal action for the misery I experienced for 2 weeks. However I don't know where to start, I am a simple massage therapy student. I spoke with a lawyer and he said the damages aren't extensive enough to bother with getting a lawyer but I should be able to get around $1500-$2000? I'm working on getting my doctor to sign something so I have proof in the court room but I don't know who or how to actually sue Rite Aid? Is this small claims or something else?
