“Buckley suffered from an overdose causing psychosis, was falsely imprisoned, suffers seizures, and now suffers permanent injuries,” the lawsuit reads.

In addition, the lawsuit argues that Buckley suffered injuries and “mental anguish,” and he will “be obligated to pay large sums of money for doctors’ bills, hospital bills, and other directly and indirectly related expenses in an effort to alleviate his suffering and cure his injuries.”

As a result, Buckley is now suing Publix, CVS, Costco and the associated pharmacists.

The lawsuit accuses them of negligence in providing Buckley’s Adderall, claiming they were responsible for his overmedication.

Due to this, the lawsuit is seeking over $50,000 in damages.
