SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DRUGGED
Date rape drugs can make you feel drunk even if you haven’t drunk any alcohol. You may also feel like the effects of drinking alcohol are much stronger than usual or more than you expect based on how much you drank.
Date rape drugs also affect your memory. This can make it difficult to tell if you were drugged and raped. You might not be aware of an attack until many hours later, or you may not remember what happened.
You might have been drugged and raped if:
- You don’t know why your clothes are on wrong, torn, or have unusual stains. Or, you wake up without clothes and don’t remember taking them off.
- You have unexpected bruises, bleeding, pain, scrapes, or cuts, especially after waking up after a party, date, or other social event.
If you notice any of these signs, and also wake up having no memory of a period of time, or remember having a drink but cannot recall anything after that, you may have been drugged and assaulted.
