I expect most of you have heard of this drug. It's a synthetic opiate painkiller. It also happens to be a potent SNRI anti-depressant. The problem is that it's addictive and used in high doses for recreational use. can't imagine any doctor prescribing for psychiatric use, especially as it can cause serotonin syndrome.

Anyway, I wasn't aware of any of this when I took for leg cramps side effects from quetiapine an antipsychotic. Not only did it stop the cramps, it gave me relief from debilitating anxiety for the whole day.

I now take 4 x 50mg tablets once every three days. The effect is not as good as when I started doing it three months ago but it still works ok and I don't have cravings for it on the next two days. Constipation is the main side effect.

I am certainly not recommending it's use here. I'm just curious to know whether anyone else uses it in this way.
