Seriously people, this is how embedded the antipsychotic Seroquel has become in our culture both as a psych med and as a street drug–earlier this week a man in Lawrence, Mass. was shot dead while trying to buy Seroquel from a drug dealer. The man, Roberto Plaza, allegedly wanted to take the drug for sleep problems. While that strikes me as dubious (you’d go to a drug dealer for a sleeping pill?), even if he was trying to get the drug to snort it and get high (or low) he threw his life away over a damn antipsychotic.

These stories continue to get weirder and weirder, and some of them keep popping up in Massachusetts. Um, hello Boston Globe.
