The takeaway: the difference between a “psychiatric drug” and a “street drug” isn’t always chemistry—it’s context and intent. Legal doesn’t mean safe, especially when it comes to the brain. #Psychiatry #DrugAbuse #Wellbutrin #Seroquel #Addiction

This pattern began in U.S. prisons, where inmates discovered certain psychiatric meds could get them high. After Wellbutrin and Seroquel were removed from prison formularies, abuse rates dropped sharply.

Too much Wellbutrin can cause seizures, hallucinations, and heart problems. Overusing Seroquel can lead to blackouts, respiratory depression, and even death—especially when mixed with other drugs.

Most patients take these meds safely, but some abuse them—crushing, snorting, or even injecting them—to intensify their effects. That’s where things turn dangerous.

Wellbutrin is nicknamed “poor man’s cocaine” because it boosts dopamine and norepinephrine, creating a mild stimulant-like buzz. Seroquel is called “baby heroin” for its sedating, numbing effects.

The line between psychiatric medications and street drugs is thinner than most people think. Some prescriptions even have street nicknames—like “poor man’s cocaine” and “baby heroin.” Here’s why that matters. 🧵

Antidepressants are being marketed like skincare — glamorized by influencers and telehealth brands under hashtags like #LexaproGirlies and #ZoloftGang. I told the Wall Street Journal: “People know their favorite celebrity who’s taking them.” Mental health is about more than a

“Girl, take your crazy pills!” For some young women, antidepressants are a hot lifestyle accessory. On TikTok, views for #antidepressants and related hashtags get hundreds of millions of views.

The key to avoiding this is tapering slowly. For most people, that means 5–10% dose reductions every few weeks, adjusting to how your body responds. Your brain—not the calendar—should set the pace.

This long-lasting form is called protracted withdrawal — a condition where the brain remains in a state of chaos long after the drug is gone. People can be disabled for months or even years. It’s far more common than most doctors realize.

Withdrawal can trigger dizziness, insomnia, panic, waves of despair, “brain zaps,” sensory overload, and exhaustion. For some, this resolves quickly. But for others, the damage is long-lasting.

When you come off too quickly, you’re removing a structural part of that new balance. It’s like pulling out beams from a building before you’ve replaced them. The result? The whole system destabilizes.

Antidepressants work by forcing certain chemicals, like serotonin, higher than they naturally would be. The brain senses this and pushes back — it slows its own production and desensitizes receptors. Over time, the drug becomes the new normal. Your brain has adapted to it.

Most people are told that antidepressants “fix a chemical imbalance.” That’s a myth. These drugs don’t correct a deficit — they create a drug effect. Let’s talk about what they actually do, why withdrawal can be so brutal, and how to taper safely. 🧵
