So sorry to hear what happened to you. Addiction is a terrible ordeal to go through. I'm not aware of any class action lawsuits against Purdue Pharma due to the addictive qualities of Fioricet. You could have a malpractice lawsuit against your prescribing physician for prescribing the incorrect dosage and/or for not warning you of the risks associated with taking the medication on a long-term basis. You can find an experienced malpractice attorney using the Find a Lawyer tab on the Lawyers.com homepage. You'll need copies of your medical records so that the lawyer can have them reviewed.
