Indivior To Pay $300M To Settle Suboxone Opioid Marketing Claims By DOJ, States

The makers of the opioid addiction treatment Suboxone have agreed to pay $300 million to settle allegations raised by several states, claiming Indivior falsely advertised the drug as safer and less prone to abuse than it actually is.

Last year, Indivior reached a $600 million settlement with the federal government over charges of aggressive and deceptive marketing. On Tuesday, the manufacturer agreed to pay another $300 million in a state settlement (PDF), which will be split among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to a press release by California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The states’ attorneys general alleged that Indivior improperly used Medicaid funds, due to its advertising techniques, which deceived regulators and the medical community about safety the profile and Suboxone risks.

Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) is a drug approved to treat recovering opioid addicts; helping them avoid withdrawal symptoms while they undergo therapy to help them break their addiction. However, the federal government and the states say Indivior, formerly known as Reckitt Benckiser Group, PLC, promoted the sale of Suboxone to doctors they knew lacked legitimate medical use for the drug, and prescribed it to patients without other accompanying treatment, like counseling.

One of the active ingredients, buprenorphine, is a powerful opioid in its own right, making Suboxone a vector of abuse by opioid addicts.

The allegations also indicate Indivior falsely claimed the Suboxone Sublingual Film, the typical way the drug is distributed, was more resistant to abuse and less likely to be accidentally exposed to children than the drug in its pill form. The film is placed under the tongue to dissolve, which critics say is just as easy, if not easier, to abuse and be accidentally ingested by children.

The states and federal government also claim the manufacturer submitted a fraudulent petition to the FDA in September 2012, which claimed the Suboxone Tablet had to be discontinued due to safety concerns. However, they say that, in actuality, the manufacturer sought to control supply and improperly inflate Suboxone pricing, including what state Medicaid programs paid for it.

“Doctors and the public should be able to trust that what a company says their product can do is the truth, especially when the company claims it can be used during the treatment of something as serious as opioid addiction,” Attorney General Bonta said in the press release. “Today’s settlement should send a message that false marketing and improper use of California’s Medicaid dollars will have costly consequences.”

In 2019, Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals reached a $700 million settlement with the federal government and states over Suboxone Medicaid fraud allegations. Indivior spun off from the company shortly afterwards and reached the $600 million agreement with the Justice Department last year.

In a statement released in response to Attorney General Bonta’s press release, Indivior notes that the $300 million is coming from that $600 million agreement it made with the Justice Department last year, and does not constitute a commitment to pay additional money to resolve that settlement.

“The various state settlement agreements being announced this week are administrative in nature, and simply formalize the individual state settlements which were previously agreed to in principle as part of the July 2020 criminal and civil resolution between Indivior and the states (and the federal government). As such, there is no new financial or legal obligation that has arisen,” the company’s statement reads. “The Company was pleased to put those issues behind it in 2020 and remains focused on realizing its patient-focused Vision and fulfilling its compliance commitments.”

The company said it will have no further comments on the settlement agreement.

THIS IS WELL KNOWN IF YOU ARE ADDICTED TO OXY, OR SIMILAR DRUGS. I HAD THE BEST DR. I was on subutex when insurance stopped covering suboxone. My Dr had no problem giving that to me for a year. These Dr's were trying to help us and do you think it's fun working with annoying addicts. Get real. They did it because they were trying to help. They opioid epidemic was crazy. I'm sorry but this is not the same as the oxycontin. And also because of that oxy, the government put regulations on Dr's prescribing any narcotics. So the Dr is not trying to all of a sudden be a ass. They are extremely limited now.

  • DanielleSeptember 30, 2023 at 3:00 pm

    All I gotta,say is they replaced opiates with a medicine that is way more addictive & just as damaging. It's all about the pharmacy company making that money. They don't care about addicts except when it comes to getting their piece of the pie. Biggest mistake I made was taking Suboxone.

And how the hell do you leave so much important information such as you're wrong doing or just simply admitting that Suboxone causes dental problems? I have proof I have photos I have everything to take this to court and if I don't get on this the last thing you want is a civil suit because then I start talking about death and lifelong addictions which suboxone, Reckitt and Becksler, , Indivor, zubsolv, amongst others to chicken shit to accept responsibility even though these people you're denying made you billionaires. That's right on the line of absolutely disgusting as a human being. You better pay people who are part of these court orders for if I'm forgotten about conveniently, civil suits usually tie companies up for many many months and then your true colors come out in court and I pretty much tell them how respectful and fantastic your company is and how much they care. That was sarcasm. If I don't get paid and I don't get dental implants, the number is only going to get larger.

I wish I were told about the side effects from the beginning. It's hard to call this "sober". I too have been having teeth issues, my overall energy levels are incredibly low, and I have a severe lack of motivation. I've lost interest in hobbies, I have no desire for romance, my dreams of a little family feel shattered (I'm 32). It's literally impossible to start my day without it and by 3 o'clock I need to take another just to keep working. Hearing about others being on this medication for decades is terrifying. When I took these grievances to my doctor he just upped the dose. I asked about other options and he essentially lied to me. Come to find out he's not actually certified to treat with other options, but he told me the other options don't work. I just want this to be over so I can move on with my life. Back to back injury and surgery is what got me on the damn pills in the first place, the last thing I needed prescribed was another addictive substance. Needless to say I am not thrilled with pharmaceutical companies and I go out of my way to tell others not to take the suboxone route. We only have one life to live, one shot to make a difference in this world. I don't want to be wasting it being addicted to medicine.

It sent me back to street drug use and I finally put myself on methadone which is where I am now and probably will be until the day I die.

    I agree with lot of people started suboxon in 2019 and have rotted ever tooth in my mouth. Even when I started brushing with professional electric toothbrush and brushed over 4 times a day. Before starting suboxon I had perfect beautiful teeth!!! SMH

  • CrystalMay 9, 2022 at 6:28 pm

    I have been using Suboxone for 10+yrs now and my teeth are so bad I currently have about 15-20 cavities some so severe my nerve endings have died .. not to mention the 5 teeth I've already had pulled .. I absolutely hate my smile. I am 35 yrs old and should not have this amount of damage to my teeth.

  • MelodyMay 8, 2022 at 1:58 am

    I have been on Suboxone for over 10 yrs. I had a perfect smile. I know babe had my entire upper teeth pulled and I only have 6.left on the bottom. And it's not just me. My sister also has her teeth pulled and has been on suboxone 7 yrs. It's so unfair that they knew of this side effect and his it from everyone.

    At the age 35 yrs old I had to get a full set of dentures due to suboxone eating at my enamel . Not only that I continue gaining weight from it I've been on suboxone for 2 years no one ever told me I was going to evitually loose my teeth from it.

    Guess we're here ask for the same reason. Subs and teeth just went to the prosthodontist yesterday 4/21 to fix the teeth 53k for crowns because subs have ate the enamel off and exposed the dentin off the teeth, have all my teeth, braces 3x and Bi-maxillary Osteotomy they were perfect now this and insurance don't cover teeth under medical because it's not seen as medical necessity

I am embarrassed to go out and thus has led to me being a recluse and me being unable to smile and be a part of society. Some people it may not affect like this bit with me it certainly did.

I hate to point out the obvious, but let's face it, most people taking Suboxone don't have enough money to hire a lawyer. I don't understand how the amount of outcry that I have seen about tooth damage from this horrible medicine has not spurred SOMEBODY to take some action. I am appalled by the number of poor, unsuspecting, people like me who have had such devastating effects from this drug, but more so by the lack of anyone seeming to give a shit. Hey, guess what? We're not all just junkies with Meth-mouth looking for something else to blame. It's already been proven that Suboxone does, in fact, cause tooth decay. What the hell is going on here?

I’m using Lucemyra, which a Medical Assistant told me about when the dr. wasn’t there. I honestly have to ,say besides the sweats & usual uncomfortable feeling of WD, this lucemyra is absolutely helping. Now to the teeth. Before starting this crap ( subutex) I had perfect teeth. I’ve now after being on it 12 years, have major recession of my gums, especially where we melt it, under our tongues. Those teeth are probably going to have to be pulled eventually & hopefully I’ll be able to have a bridge, as my dentist was honest & told me , there is too much bone loss to have implants. All of my gums are having major recession & we’re doing deep cleanings, prescription toothpaste etc. to try to stop the recession. I see gum grafts in the future. IDK how I escaped the rotting ( I have a lot of implants from being on methadone in my 20’s) Now to the pain I’m experiencing from a botched surgery on my left foot. I didn’t realize how much the subutex masked the pain. My foot is screaming, I have it elevated & have taken ibuprofen 800 mg’s ( Lol like that’s gonna help) long & short of my 2 cent’s, I’d have gone through the WD’s of the Roxy’s without a second thought, if I’d known the hell & the lost 12 years this drug has taken from me. Not to mention the $$ I don’t even want think about the amount. Nobody twisted my arm to take the drug, I feel we were all Guinea pigs with subs. Also, having had surgeries foot & shoulder, my bones are brittle , like an old lady ( Im 55 they’re saying they’re more like an 80 year olds bones -hence the teeth issues, makes a heck of a lot of sense.) And no, I was never apprised of any lawsuits ( I’m not a Sue happy person, however in this case, I will be pursuing, my dr. sexual harrassed me, which is another story. Well known dr. in Broward county Florida) Anyone even considered getting on subs, please reconsider. Losing the relationships, losing my marriage, my career, MYSELF absolutely was not worth it. I had 11.5 years sober & ironically started getting my teeth fixed, and the sleeping monster was awoken ( we had pill mills all over south Florida & I was frequenting 2-3 of them, along with my then BF. ) Sobriety rocks, I know God will restore the 12 years the locust’s have eaten away.. wish everyone a good journey off this stuff.

I have never been told still to this day the suboxone causes dental problems, so I am very happy to know someone cares enough to share and try and right this wrong. I do have dentures but I can not where my bottoms at all because of bone loss and my top I can only where sometimes. I can’t eat with them because food gets under the plate and has caused me to choke as well as not being able to eat a lot of foods due to the fact that I can’t chew because I don’t have any teeth and have choked on multiple occasions.

    I have been on suboxone for 3 years, my doctor has not talked once about weaning me off, and has never mentioned anything about tooth decay/loss.

They will only cover to pull and I refuse to get my front teeth pulled. This is devastating.

When I first got put on it I was told this is a temporary solution and you will be good as new in no time. 11 years later and I am still addicted to this "non addictive" miracle drug and now I am told this is a forever medication. I was never told this would effect my dental health and now 11 Years later my teeth are decayed and falling apart. I brush my teeth 4 times a day and have done so all my life. It will cost me around 30,000 to get a whole mouth of implants and have my smile back. If I knew even half of what I know now 11 years ago I would never have listened to any doctors telling me how amazing this drug is. It definitely helped me stay off opiates but I feel as though I was bamboozled by every doctor about how safe this drug is. Never would I have imagined my teeth just breaking and falling apart or decaying in the manner that they are. I am only 35 years old and technically I need a full denture set to get back my dental health. It's disgusting, infuriating and saddening all at the same time. Not to mention the cost of getting dental work is outrageous. I was quoted $30,000 to pull all my teeth and get permanent implants placed in. All because I had faith in this "miracle drug" to "save my life".

    My doctor prescribed suboxone film and pills for pain management. I’ve been taking the pill form for 4 years and my teeth are falling out. Now the makers of suboxone tell my doctor to give me a shot for pain- it’s only for substance abuse. I’ve lost my dignity because they pushed this drug as an alternative for pain. It barely helps take the edge off and my mouth is in horrible shape

    Subs weren’t supposed to be addictive but that was a lie. I was on subs for 4 years. It got my weight down to 103 (I am 5’8” & very slender as it is) & gave me terrible depression. On top of that, I am now having major dental issues from the medication. This is NOT a safe medication. Please do everything to can to discontinue this medication.

  • ALLISONApril 11, 2022 at 3:07 pm

    What about the new FDA warning about tooth loss/decay while using Suboxone. Nobody ever told me this. Being on Suboxone for 12 years, started with perfect teeth, now most of my back teeth are broken and falling out! Help us!

I mentally had no idea the repercussions I endured be abuse it was not paired with therapy as i realize I need now. I've burned many bridges with family because I didn't know how to explain the suboxone treatments and the sociological effects it had on me. I've been to hell and back ever since I had the emergency surgery with my gallbladder 25 years ago and I lost all hope on living a fulfilled life being a productive member of society, it was all taken from me at a very young age and not one doctor tried helping me correct what went so wrong.

  • MaryApril 11, 2022 at 1:14 pm

    I’m currently on suboxone and I’ve been on it for 10+ Years. The doctors definitely should have told us about the effects and that it would ruin our teeth. I haven’t heard anything about a lawsuit until now.

    I think it’s horrible how no doctor will tell you how bad this medication will destroy your teeth! I’m having major problems with my teeth! It ducks and isn’t fair to have to find out like this. My teeth are literally breaking off and rotting and I’ve always had great teeth and a great smile! We need HELP!!! Please!!

  • AshleyApril 11, 2022 at 10:08 am

    They first started with subs being for SHORT term detox. Then they pedaled it as long term bc big pharma knows the truth. The longer you are on them, the harder it is to get off them. Been on them for over seven years and it’s been hard to get off even at 2mg I’m on. Wish I never started them

I am reaching out to possibly bring (very much needed) awareness to the havoc this medication is causing to patients teeth, including myself. I’ve been in recovery since 2007 and have been prescribed Suboxone for the past 7 years, and now just learning of why my teeth started falling out, cracking, crumbling out of nowhere 3 years like and just like apples falling from a shaken tree. There were nothing wrong with my teeth until this, and my dental records will prove my truth. We as patients were never advised on this harsh and very unfortunate side effect. We have rights, too. I am currently a Substance Abuse Counselor Intern who is so close to sitting for the NJ CADC state exams, but was stopped dead in my tracks due to my teeth dropping like dead flies. This is not right, and I’m seeking some kind of restitution for NEVER being informed of the storm this medication has created in my mouth. Although I am so immensely grateful for this medication as it’s helped assist me on my journey, but how am I supposed to move forward and become the successful counselor I’ve worked so hard at becoming with MISSING teeth? I mean, c’mon.. let’s be REAL about this - No one is going to hire someone with missing front teeth, especially in this field. Like Claudia Merandi states - Your smile is YOUR business card, your smile is YOUR signature, and I haven’t been able to smile in 3 years. Can someone PLEASE advise if I possibly have any options? I’m begging for help!!!!!!! I wish I could submit pics of my teeth so you can see all of the damage. And the FDA recently posted these side effects. Well, it’s a little too late now for the patients who’re now walking around looking like snaggle tooth. It’s embarrassing!!!!!!!!!

In every other class action lawsuit, some state…you have to show proof you purchased an item & others state if you can provide proof, you will receive this amount & if you cannot, you will receive a much lower amount.. With the Suboxone lawsuit, you should have been required to provide legit dr’s or pharmacy name & number, so they could verify you were a legit patient. And if you could not provide that info, then you just don’t receive compensation.. PERIOD!!!!! How crazy is having to have a receipt for Godiva chocolate purchase to receive a higher amount. And For Suboxone, no proof whatsoever!!!! The people behind the Suboxone lawsuit must have been okay w/ awarding people that had never even purchased Suboxone….and the people who did, and overpaid for years have to split the awarded amount w/ non-legit claimants!! COME ON NOW!!! That is ridiculous & ignorant!!! WILL NEVER MAKE SENSE TO ME AT ALL!!! SINCERELY, Tracye

During the original lawsuit, my Dr’s office did not put the flyer up (to notify us of pending class action) until after the date to sign up had passed. Most of the prescribing physicians are unaware that: Even after a taper down to 1mg you will have the most painful & longest detox (lasting 1-6mo). It’s worst than Methadone. After detoxing from suboxone once, you will never detox from it again. Good luck if you need legitimate surgeries, or are in some type of accident, most MD’s have no idea how to blow buprenorphine off your receptors. Nor do they care to. Your teeth will rot, & fall out no matter how obsessive you are in regards to your dental hygiene. I currently need atleast $10K worth of work done to fix my teeth. Had I known 10 years ago that my teeth would fall out at the age of 34, (or that it was a side effect)I would have made a more informed decision in regards to MAT. The problem I see is most prescribers know little about the medication, & the pharmaceutical companies should be doing everything in their power to combat the horrible side effects.

    Please contact me. I’ve been on Suboxson since 2013, 2019-2022. With-in the last year of being on Suboxone I’ve lost 3 bottom teeth and the fourth is about to go. Not to mention they taste horribly I’m not surprised at all they cause your teeth to fall out the medicine sits on your inner lip up against your teeth.

    I would like to know the steps for getting in on this . I have been prescribed for 4 years. All of my teeth are bad now. Not to mention this was supposed to help with addiction. In my opinion being prescribed 4 8mg a day has destroyed me. Not to mention I'm still stuck on it.. I'm sick of this medication. Better for you.. safer .. I think not...

    I have been on this almost 4 years! My teeth started decaying about one year in! Every tooth in my head now has a veneer and my back teeth will be partials when they are completed! I'm 49! My teeth repair has cost me about everything I own! 30k!!!! Please send me info on this law suit!

    I received a check for this lawsuit back in 2021. However why hasn't anything been done about the loss of teeth due to this film. Before I started the so-called new treatment for opiate addiction, I never had any problems with my teeth. Now I need implants. I have lost 12 rear teeth I feel is a result of these films.

When I started back 9+ years ago I was told this would be the safest way to help my prescribed opiate addiction. However no one talked about the withdrawals. I did the taper but once I was told it was time to do the jump, I found myself in such a state of deep depression. I was admitted voluntarily into an addiction center. They put me back on the stuff so now it's still 8mg 3 times per day. Where does this end?

    I was prescribed Suboxone for 5+ years. I need in! What about Methadone? I've been prescribed that for the last 6 years also.

    I've had such trouble trying to kick subutex and suboxone its worse then H, and to top that off half of my teeth are decaying from the gum line, of course medicaid says it's cause I'm a addict and won't do anything except take my teeth out and I'm only 30 years old, you know how embarrassing that is

    If there is any kind of lawsuit to be had with Buprenorphine I WANT IN, i was prescribed this medication from 2008-2018 and in ALL ITS VARIOUS forms, Buprenorphine (subutex) Buprenorphine & Naloxone (Suboxone) 2mg & 8mg and every generic in between and the film. If you need someone with LONG STANDING BUPRENORPHINE PRESCRIPTION i can aid in this.

    something needs to be done to help all of us who are suffering from this horrible product. I went from taking pain pills for relief to a drug addict on Suboxone. the side effects ruined any chance of a good life for over a decade now. if there's justice I would love to find out more.

  • MindiFebruary 8, 2022 at 11:44 am

    This medication has saved my life but also has ruined it. I have not gone out in years because I can't afford to get my teeth fixed that were ruined fr this medication. Also I have tried a few times to come off of it but the withdrawal is ridiculous. I was not told either of these things would happen to me. Please contact me for any future class action suits.

I had no choice I thought but to take pain medication I was in too much pain to get around it got to where it was so bad I eventually had to get a disability. I would take the pain medication for two or three years and then I would take myself off of that and I would take Suboxone for two or three years and I did this back-and-forth for the last 15 years I’ve had to have the stomach lighting removed and my esophagus mighty removed about every six months because of the acid reflex that I have because of the mixture of all this medication. Neither one of the doctors who were prescribed via the Suboxone recommended or suggested any type of drug rehab all they did was have because it once months later Sharon’s paid the bill I spent 10 minutes got my refills and Alcindor I would and that was it. It got to be where I didn’t know what was worse the pain medication or the Suboxone . The withdrawals on both of them are absolutely tremendous I have never tried heroin so I can’t compare but I’ve been told it compares to that. For the last two years me and my ex-husband have fought for our life‘s trying to get off of Suboxone I believe the Suboxone is more addictive than the narcotic oxycodone I have never been through so much misery in my life I have now got high blood pressure off the hook high cholesterol and try to stay off of medication except no narcotic medication’s some pain you just have to live with , as long as possible!

    how do we get our part of the settlement? they were extremely misleading about the long term effects as well as the fact it causes severe addiction to the medication causing withdraws if without. which is crazy to me considering it was prescribed to help combat addiction to opiates.

I became addicted, and suffered withdrawal symptoms which interfered with my working and general life situations. After several years of self medicating with street drugs and alcohol, my Mom paid for me to go to a Rehab Doctor. I was put on Suboxone, told that after regulating the dose over the first few weeks, I would stay on the Suboxone for a year, and then would be weaned down for a few weeks. I was told that I would then be free of addiction. It was not suggested or recommended that I get counseling while I was in Rehab. Unfortunately, I was fed a bunch of CRAP. I have been trying to get off Suboxone for about 5 years now, and no matter what I try, it can't be done. When I take the Suboxone, I don't experience the withdrawal symptoms, and I only take a small dose now. But over the past few years, my teeth have rotted out and I'm having to get dentures. My general health has gone downhill, and I haven't been able to keep a long-term job. My life has been ruined by Suboxone. Let me be perfectly clear about this: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED AND PROMOTED this "FIX" for the addiction problem by PUSHING ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE ABSOLUTELY MOST ADDICTIVE DRUG IN HISTORY, without any way of a cure for this new addiction to Suboxone. In other words, once on it, you're on it for life. The financial cost, and the physical problems that come with it, ARE NOT WORTH IT. AVOID AT ALL COST!!! Compensation should be paid to anyone harmed by this drug. I also had no notice of the previous lawsuit, but there should be another one open to anyone who is prescribed Suboxone.

My 3rd soboxone doctor around the 7 year, same facility referred me to get an echocardiogram the results on that was enlarged heart, leaky valve, high blood pressure in my lungs along with fluid. And still soboxone doctor states its not the soboxone. I know my body. I suffer so much with soboxone and im addicted to it. I have to wear compression stalkings thigh high. I take diuretics to alleviate the adema. Ive lost leg muscle around my calves down when my body is out of soboxone my lower extremities are skelitical looking, I look sick. Now around the 10th year with same symptoms im starting to faint alot. Ive had alot of bruises, fat lips, burns, i almost broke my ankles a few times from suddenly loosing oxygen to my brain. Im currently doing testing with wich ever doctor will stay. i have had quite a few doctors that get burnt out on prescribing it i guess. Im doing a sleep study any day now. I know im allergic to soboxone, nalexone, film buprenorphine is what they have me on recently, and I still have same symptoms. My husband is very worried for me. No doctor has ever did a plan, or suggestion to taper me off. Im also addicted to soboxone or buprenorphine...I've been on 8mg ×2.5 films for last 11 years.

If not for that I would not have heard about it But when they were sending out checks I never got mine, so I called and spoke to several people who were put in charge of answer any questions about a claim or payment. When I gave them my information they said the address I gave them didn't match the one on file but my name and my EMAIL address was the same. So I was livid because they would not help me out. I wasn't eligible because I couldn't come up with the correct address. I know I filed the claim correctly with the correct address. Just seems very sketchy that my address was different but my email was the same. So now I am waiting and hoping I get a payment because I said I would wait until the initial payments were sent out and if there is anything left I will get a check. Still waiting so not sure how long I have to wait or even if I'm getting a check. I've been on Suboxone since 2005. I've paid out of pocket several times plus with insurance. I've been to 4 detox facilities using methadone to ween me of the Suboxone but I'm sent home after a week and once the methadone wore off I was still in withdrawal so bad I couldn't stand it and Everytime I got right back on Suboxone. Wish someone could listen to us and help us get off Suboxone. It's worse than heroine. I used a lot of dope and I could always get off it with minimal withdrawal but the Suboxone withdrawal is just in my bones, my emotions, my attitude, my energy, it just drains me and it lasts Soo long I can't kick it. I have to work, and there is no way I could ever work without it. Just please hear us and get us something to get us off Suboxone please

You Will Start to lose all your teeth before their time. I truly believe this because of having to leave it in your mouth to dissolve it definitely effects your teeth over time.

    There’s got to be 10s of thousands if not millions of people who missed out and never even heard of this lawsuit Like myself who’s been on this medication since 2004 to present day 2021. I paid thousands of dollars out of pocket when I had no insurance!!

    My husband & I have been on Suboxone over 10 years.first we was prescribed tins of medications called pain Killers.suddenly they shut down all doctors giving it. So here we was left without any of it and began to use street drugs to fill in the loss of the medication we didn't get anymore. We was non-functional in society and family life due to this.and getting on street drugs made it much worse. [Show More]My husband & I have been on Suboxone over 10 years.first we was prescribed tins of medications called pain Killers.suddenly they shut down all doctors giving it. So here we was left without any of it and began to use street drugs to fill in the loss of the medication we didn't get anymore. We was non-functional in society and family life due to this.and getting on street drugs made it much worse. We have both overdosed and died and been revived. I have died more times than anyone I know. So started Suboxone and at first it seemed like the answer. But it was just another replacement for the pills the doctor's gave and the street drugs that came afterwards. My 23 yr old daughter has now Bagan getting Suboxone. This Al me has caused serious family problems. I started opening up to my therapist/councilor who worked with the doctor giving us the Suboxone. And then of her how my disabled husband was having to eat more than usual due to his body being broken down weak due to Suboxone use and my memory and health has gotten the same. We now find ourselves not able to function without taking them. He can not work without them I can not get up without them. But I have been off them over 5 years ago and for several months and I felt better than ever in my whole life off them. People came in and forced me back on them. Said it was crazy to just stop them. But now almost 6 yes later I feel worse than ever before. And have been contacting everyone everywhere to get help to get off them. But No one cared and just wanted to keep us on them. I've tried so hard but no luck. I just want a normal life without them like before. I've been in hospitals but the just added more. I've been kept from contacting attorneys.over 2 yrs ago I contacted several but they worked for the hospital giving them/law enforcement. And I would call for help but they just told me to file complaints at the prosecutors office and I did. But since I've been tormented on a serious level and my whole life controlled they took over my cell phone and every decision I've made. Just because I asked for help. Before this I was vibrant and full of life, but since this all began I can't go inside a store or do anything good or fun and they have made me family treat me so terrible. I'm all alone in this world looking for justice. And have had no luck due to a bunch of con artists during the coronavirus. They have scandled do much of my life and time. And my family. I'm 46 and not getting any younger. It's time people who deserve it to take some responsibility and pay for the problems they have caused.

    I’ve been on suboxone for years. I was prescribed it to help me get off of Vicodin. I wasn’t offered counseling. I started with the pills, now the film. I’ve tried so hard to wean myself off but it’s impossible. I only take a little bitty piece of the film now but I know when it wears out.

    My husband was on suboxone almost the entire duration of time this lawsuit covers. We spent most of that time uninsured and paid 20 dollars per strip to walgreens. Also my husband got it from his general doctor and did not go for counseling. They even knew he has a mental illness and didnt ask him to go for counseling. The makers of this drug knew he was on it yet we heard nothing of any lawsuit [Show More]My husband was on suboxone almost the entire duration of time this lawsuit covers.

That's not right! If a company being sued knows certain customers qualify they should have to disclose this information to their customers. Clearly they didnt try. They get their drug out there and judging by the fact they dont struggle with that its safe to say they didnt want qualifying customers to be aware of this. So wrong!

    I have used Suboxone for several years it does do what it says except when you don’t take it you’re back in withdrawals and the thing is I had to pay out of the pocket for like six years it cost me something like 250 a week so that’s just how I feel about

    I've been on suboxone for over a decade and before insurance I've been made to pay thousands for the prescriptions.
