Prostap warning - seizures

Without trying to scaremonger or take away the good work Prostap injection might do, I need to tell my story.

A month ago I was admitted to hospital with suspected endo, I posted stuff on here about it. I felt bullied into being given Prostap without sure diagnosis (turns out my pain is a femoral hernia and that’s been another battle resulting in a change of hospitals).

However, yesterday I suffered a grand mal seizure, 4 weeks after my Prostap injection. No info was given to me about the risks (I had juvenile epilepsy many years again) and it’s only today I’ve read online about the association. Today I am absolutely devastated that this injection might have caused the fit, and the impact it’s going to have on my life. Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone know how much longer this drug will be in my system? Luckily I was shopping in Aldi with my partner, and apart from a bitten tongue I’ve no physical injuries just the stress and worry of it happening again :-(
