Raspberrytorte, I had heard of Seroquel being abused, but having taken it for combined 10+ years or so, it always baffles me when I read that. I'm not debating it, but wonder what type of "high" it brings people. How does it feel? It doesn't do that to me. I have felt something of a high from Ativan, codeine, after a wisdom tooth extraction, and pseudophedrine. Otherwise, my only other highs were from simply becoming manic or maybe to a degree, alchohol. I never (voluntarily) tried any illegal drugs, and when under their influence, had unpleasant delusions and hallucinations.
