YouTube Description
as posted by the channelClick here if you need help quitting psychiatric medications
Most people don’t realize how thin the line is between psychiatric medications and street drugs. In this video, I talk about two prescriptions that have surprisingly developed street reputations: Wellbutrin, often called “poor man’s cocaine,” and Seroquel, sometimes referred to as “baby heroin.”
I explain why these drugs can have illicit appeal—how Wellbutrin can create a stimulant-like buzz and how Seroquel can be used for its sedating, numbing effects. I also discuss how people abuse these medications by snorting or injecting them, the real medical dangers that come with that and how this problem first took hold inside U.S. prisons.
