Drug Misuse is taking prescription medicine in a manner that is different than prescribed. Drug abuse is using controlled substances that haven't been perscribed for you or are illegal.

Misuse is when you take the wrong drug for the wrong symptoms.
Abuse is when u take the drug for self-satisfaction or to get yourself high.

Misuse: "Man! I'm having a bad day!"....."Here, take one of my Xanax it'll 'smooth' things out!"
Abuse: Going to a dozen different doctors to get the same perscription. Using any banned controlled substance.
