Arkansas Abilify™ Injury Lawyers

Dedicated to helping injured individuals get the justice they deserve since 1992

Do I Have a Case?

Abilify™ was created to help patients with psychological conditions including bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Patients are now suing the manufacturers after studies, including one by the National Institute of Health, found that Abilify™ can reduce the brain’s ability to control impulses.

Call Caddell Reynolds Law Firm at 800-671-4100 to discuss your case with our experienced attorneys.

Seek Compensation for Serious Side Effects

Patients using Abilify™ have suffered severe side effects including:

  • Compulsive gambling
  • Hypersexuality
  • Binge eating
  • Excessive shopping
  • Other compulsive behaviors
  • Uterine cancer

In 2015, the FDA issued a warning letter to the manufacturers of Abilify™ informing them of misleading claims in their marketing. Then, in 2016, the FDA issued a black box warning about the risks of Abilify™ for compulsive behavior.

To date, there have been $535 million dollars paid to patients from Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Bristol-Myers Squibb, who manufacture the drug.

Dangerous Drugs: Frequently Asked Questions

The side effects I experienced are listed on the drug's warning label. Does that mean I don't have a case?

Not necessarily. The presence of a warning on a label doesn't automatically mean the manufacturer adequately disclosed the true severity or frequency of that risk. If the company knew a side effect was more dangerous or more common than the label suggested—or downplayed it to protect sales—you may still have a viable claim.

The drug I took has already been recalled. Does that help my case?

A recall can be significant evidence, but it isn't required for a claim and doesn't guarantee recovery. What matters is whether the manufacturer knew—or should have known—about the harm the drug was causing, and whether they responded responsibly. In many cases, internal documents revealed during litigation show that manufacturers were aware of serious risks long before they warned the public or pulled the drug from the market.

How long do I have to file a dangerous drug claim?

The deadline varies by state—3 years in Arkansas, 5 years in Missouri, and 2 years in Oklahoma—and the clock typically starts running from the date you were injured or discovered that the drug caused your harm. Some exceptions apply, particularly in cases where the connection between the drug and the injury wasn't immediately apparent. The earlier you consult an attorney, the better—evidence matters, and these cases take time to build.

Meagan helped me find Ray who helped me deal with my situation. They especially helped me where I couldn’t help myself. They helped me find proper medical support and spoke up for me as a client. Every time I called to check in Meagan was always very personable and helpful to get me the answers I needed. I don’t know where I’d be without them!

My husband suffered a debilitating and life-altering injury at a relatively young age and became unable to work. Having to adjust to this was already overwhelming, so we reached out to Fred Caddell for assistance in applying for disability benefits. He and his office staff were extremely helpful and positive throughout the entire process, especially through the appeal.

I am very happy with how they have handled my case and today officially is the day it got closed! They dealt with some stubborn collectors, but ended up getting me money that was taken from me So I was so very thankful for that. They helped me maintain a payment plan that suited our needs financially and made it possible for us to continue paying this bankruptcy, and that meant a lot.

A year ago, my parents were in a car accident in Dallas. It was a horrible and very stressful situation for us. Fortunately, we found Kirby McDonald at the Caddell Reynolds law firm. He came to our house for the initial consultation because it was difficult for my mom to leave the house due to the accident. It took so much stress off our shoulders to know that there was someone advocating for us.
