    And why it should be a little easier to get. Bad day at work? Well, you can have a bottle of scotch, scream at your wife and wake up feeling like shit, or a single dose ketamine nasal spray and youre not doing shit besides waking up feeling fine. Same goes for quetiapine, a lot of really bad nights of mine could have been handled way better with a few Seroquel instead of getting loaded up on booze. I’m unpredictable when I’m drunk. It’s frustrating to me that our pharmacists can’t be a monitored but compassionate dispensary for useful chemicals. They already keep track of how much ephedrine I buy, why can’t some decent downers make that list?

        Do you prescribe it for maintenance use or for acute treatment? I think it’s use as a maintenance drug should be significantly reduced from how frequently it is now. If anyone thinks SSRIs make them a zombie, try taking 25mg of Seroquel with breakfast. I was in an IOP group where multiple people DROVE with that shit in their system, because they used it for maintenance. Had to bite my tongue there I’m obviously not the doctor.
