Why did I feel weird after alcohol, was my drink spiked?

I was out a few weeks ago with a friend at a city bar, I had a cocktail and only two second drink of the night but all of a sudden I felt very weird. I’ve never felt like it, very hard to describe like out of it, nauseous, dizzy, fast heart beat. It doesn’t sound like the normal spiked reaction with passing out etc but still I wonder, I never left my drink out my sight but it was odd, unless it was an reaction to something?

Probably not. There really isn't anything dispensed from a pharmacy that is practical for date rape. Valium, Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin aren't going to work well unless you put a lot of them in her drink. And they all take a very long time to dissolve (by design). Sleeping pills with phenobarbital would have worked, but those have largely been taken off the market...

Drugging women and raping them is largely an urban myth. The descriptions girls gave when under the influence don't match any pharmaceutical that can be obtained in pill form.

Uhm, slightly of topic, but I just saw an episode of Border Patrol where they caught a trafficker with some 30 liters (!) of GBL in his suitcase. What do you think that is ultimately used for?

@DryGermanGuy I believe you are referring to GBH and it too is not really suitable for date rape as it doesn't cause amnesia most of the time. It actually behaves more like a stimulant rather than a depressive. It's very popular on the rave scene.

The original date rape drug was rohypnol a benzo like Xanax and Klonopin. It to was probably never used for that purpose as it is not soluble in water or ethanol very well and it has a blue dye to turn any beverage blue. It's also illegal in the US.

I believe you believe wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Butyrolactone

Quote:
"There have been news reports of several deaths associated with GBL, usually in combination with alcohol or other depressants.[29]
Gamma-Butyrolactone is often referred to be used as a date rape drug.[30]"

@DryGernanGuy It's GBH. And the key operative word here is "refered". Larger doses of GBH have a paradoxical effect. This is why it is popular at raves. Just because some dumb ass called it a date rape drug doesn't mean it is actually used for such.

Nevermind, GBL is a precursor to GBH. The pharmacology is similar, same effects. That drug was developed to be an anesthetic but was never used as such due to it's LACK OF ANESTHETIC EFFECTS. I know all about these drugs, I'm an anesthesiologist.

@U4ea0 you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. It's not a myth at all, dipshit. A girl got drugged by 2 guys at the bar I work at one night when I wasn't working. She passed out in the bathroom and the two guys tried to go in there and get her, but her friend called security and they got kicked out before they could do anything. They were trying to get the other security guy to let them take her out of the bar and who knows what would have happened. My friend's little sister got drugged about 10 years ago at a restaurant bar and woke up in the bathroom getting raped by 2 guys. The shit they use is not common pharmaceuticals in pill form you fucking idiot.

@Staximus Sort of like the gut who woke up in a tub full of ice with a note telling him to call 911 as his kidneys were taken...
