Question hi,I found serequel In my uncles bathroom and I was wondering what it does for your body. and how can this be abused?
Answer Hi,Kaitlyne,
Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication used for many conditions, from dementia with delusions to sleep. It can be used to regulate mood in people with bipolar conditions,also.
It is not a medication that has abuse potential. I can guarantee that one cannot get high from it.
Maybe you should ask your uncle what condition his doctor is treating him for. If his behavior is causing you concern and you think that the Seroquel is the cause, you may want to contact his doctor directly. Hope this helps, Mary
