> Laima someone just posted a link on seroquel in prisons and on the street sick behavior in my opinion only . I can't imagine it. But then I'm not a drug seeker. Hope this is civil. I think it's something that needs to be studied immediatedly as atypical antipsychotics are thought of as not being addictive or abused. And your earlier question. No no no to antidepressants with a needle point well made. Love Phillipa
Phillipa, I posted a similar link a while ago for us all to laugh at. I really don't think Seroquel has any serious abuse potential. As far as I can tell from those links the people are using Seroquel to treat the insomnia and jitters caused cocaine abuse, not as a pure drug of abuse in itself. Likewise in prisons a minority of people may prefer the mindless stupor of Seroquel to the boredom and frustration of being incarcerated. I have a history of substance abuse and have had no desire to abuse Seroquel. I still have nearly a full packet that I got a year ago. This is someone who managed to get abuse potential from Parnate.

As far as I can tell from the other case report the guy simply got frustrated about the doctors trying to deprive him of a med that had been very effective and stormed out in a temper saying he'd get it from his fellow prisoners who were probably using for the purposes I described above.
That's my opinion on the whole 'Seroquel abuse' issue anyway.
