- Abstract
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug, which has been found to be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and related disorders. Recent studies report the effectiveness of quetiapine among patients with substance use disorders both as a single disorder and as a comorbid disorder with the aforementioned disorders. Case reports have accumulated evidence suggesting that quetiapine may also be abused. In this report we presented 3 cases of inpatients at an addiction treatment center with the suspicion of quetiapine abuse. We also reviewed the literature concerning the effectiveness and abuse potentiality of quetiapine in substance dependent patients.
