What is Up With Seroquel Dealers?

Seroquel is a type of antipsychotic that is widely prescribed to treat bipolar disorder, but is it also a street drug? Signs point to "yes." Furious Seasons has noticed a slew of arrests involving the illegal sale of Seroquel on the streets of Massachusetts. One man was even shot and killed in Lawrence over a Seroquel deal gone bad. A quick Web search reveals anecdotal evidence that Seroquel is used to come down off of amphetamines or simply for the potency of its tranquilizing effect. Taking Seroquel is like popping a super-sized Xanax. And its abuse is international. The Globe-Mail reports that junkies are using Seroquel as a poor man's heroin. So, returning to Furious Seasons's question, why haven't we heard more about it?
