Winehouse Hospitalized, Released After Adverse Reaction to Drugs

Amy Winehouse was released today after being hospitalized Monday from an apparent seizure. The 24-year-old 'Rehab' singer was taken by ambulance late yesterday from her home in north London to the University College Hospital.

"Amy is fine and she is on her way home," her representative, Chris Goodman, announced earlier today. "She was taking a new [medication] as part of her anti-drug treatment program and it was an adverse reaction to that new drug. You have to try different things but unfortunately this was not the right one."

Grammy-winner Winehouse -- who was observed being taken to the ambulance wrapped in a red blanket as her father, Mitch, looked on -- has had a history of drug struggles. In June, she was admitted to a London clinic after fainting at home and being diagnosed with a "chest infection."

In mid-2007, Winehouse was treated at the aforementioned University College Hospital for "exhaustion." Her father later admitted that she had overdosed and need her stomach pumped.
