Download Article
When you’re partying with friends and having a good time, the last thing you want to worry about is someone slipping something into your drink. But unfortunately, getting roofied does happen, and the effects can be pretty scary. If you believe that your drink has been spiked or you’re pretty sure someone slipped you something, take a deep breath: we’ve got you covered. We’ll tell you exactly what to do and how to recover physically and mentally.
Things You Should Know
- If you believe you’ve been roofied, get medical attention and report it to the authorities.
- Don’t wash the clothes that you wore, and don’t shower just yet. The police can use your clothing and swabs from your body as evidence.
- Get a drug test at a hospital to look for evidence of date rape drugs in your system.
- Ask friends or acquaintances you were with if they remember anything from the night before.
