Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions.

I had to use Google to translate that, to figure out that you're talking about Propofol :)

No personal experience with it, nor do I know anyone who has been addicted to it. Most of the addicts I know have issues with the more readily accessible drugs such as ETOH, benzos and PO narcotics.

I also haven't seen it in any of my patients...yet. I'm sure I will some day.

A common drug of abuse in anesthesia. Very, very dangerous- death is often the first clue.
