This is so unusual. I mean, Seroquel is not normally a drug of abuse. How did you first discover that it gave that great feeling to you? And at what dose?

I was originally put on it for my anxiety and found it helped extraordinarily well for that. Anything 100mg+ gives me that great high feeling. 50mg doesn't feel like anything at all. If i couple it with some caffeine pills it's even better!

I know it's a strange med to abuse. It's actually really embarrassing. I told my therapist about it first, then told my pdoc, and he said it wasn't that strange at all. He said that in the prison system it's abused all the time. Something about how it makes prisoners feel like they're getting "easy time" and that they're trying to get seroquel out of the prison system.

I called my pharmacy last night and they filled my prn seroquel. Picking that up today.

I was once at an IOP and there was an older man there who was a former prisoner. He told he how highly prized Seroquel is among prisoners because it is very hard to get a good night of sleep in prison (the lights never go off, I believe).
