If your drink is spiked could you experience paralysis?!


Question: Have any of you actually had your drink spiked? What is it like? Someone I know claimed it happened to her, but she is known to lie a lot so I don't know whether to believe her...
She said she lay down and then couldn't move to switch her alarm off. Does this sound like she did have her drink spiked? She was drunk anyway.

Yes it can happen. This is at least one that people have used in drinks and the effects it causes........

1.1.3 Benzodiazepines (Benzos)

Benzos are among the most widely prescribed drugs, being central nervous system depressants used for treatment of insomnia and anxiety. They include diazepam (Valium?) and flunitrazepam (Rohypnol?). Rohypnol? is more potent than Valium?, and is used for short-term treatment of severe sleep disorders. Effects of Rohypnol? begin within 15-20 minutes of administration and may last for > 12 hours (depending on dose). Victims may experience slowing of psychomotor performance, decreased blood pressure, muscle relaxation, sleepiness, and mental/physical paralysis. Anterograde amnesia, where events occurring during the time the drug was in effect are forgotten, can occur in combination with alcohol. Metabolites are detectable in urine for up to 72 hours after ingestion. Since 1999, Roche (the manufacturer) has inserted a blue dye into Rohypnol? tablets to make it more visible/detectable in drinks.

GHB is a "date-rape" drug that affects muscle control. It can make you feel like you can't move even though you are conscous and aware of what's going on. You might also feel dizzy, nausious, and highly intoxicated, even if you didn't drink that much. It's possible your friend ingested this.

Rohypnol is another common "roofie", but it is usually associated with amnesia where the victim could be blacked out for 8 hours or more and not remember a thing. If your friend can't remember much of the night, Rohypnol might be it.

it is possible. Unfortunately, there are many types of drugs that people use as date-rape drugs. Some cause loss of muscle control or temporary paralysis, some cause amnesia, some cause erratic behavior.
