It's funny because I am exactly the type of "target population" who would abuse this drug if abusable (depressive, borderline, polysubstance dependence) and my doctor jokes that I am like a litmus test for drugs: if it's possible to abuse it, I will do it. I have found ZERO recreational potential in Seroquel.
I have also run in many drug circles in many states and have only known one person who bought Seroquel on the street more than once [a lot of people, not knowing what it is, want to try it to see if it has recreational value] and he was a crystal meth addict who needed something to help him sleep.
I have never known anyone who sold Seroquel or bought Seroquel and can name you prices for amphetamines, barbiturates, and benzos off the top of my head, but Seroquel? It just isn't on the market.
However, the articles made it seem like it does have street value. I mean, if I were in prison, I might want to sleep my way through jail, too, but that doesn't mean that it would make me euphoric. Like you, I get dysphoric from it.
