Date Rape Drug

Submitted by gracepub on May 26, 2008 - 8:11am.

I just wanted to alert people to a new drug. It isn't really new, it was used on people in the 50s, now it is used for horse tranquilizers: Tricyclic antidepressants

I was drugged with it, but because it is not on the 'list' I had a terrible time getting help from the hospital. I had the shakes and headaches as well as 4 days of insomnia.

I don't think I was attacked as they said that it wouldn't cause memory loss. But, I just want to alert people that they may run into this case.

If I had known the drug was used on horses, I would have been treated different. But, according to the hospital the drug was 'off the market' so their tests were ignored.

My problem was that because I was denied treatment, I am still suffering side effects 2 weeks later.

I can't believe any certified hospital in the country wouldn't provide you assistance, especially if you went through the emergency room. If someone slipped it into your drink, there should have been a police report at the very least. Just terrible.

Date Rape

I was horrified too. I couldn't believe it when they said that it wasn't a real attack...because it wasn't a 'listed' drug! Apparently you can drug someone as long as the drug is not on the list.

that you're in Canada. I'm not sure of the laws up there, but down here, any time someone slips anything into your drink or food, it's prosecutable, so a police report would have been taken. That's just unbelievable.

I am not sure, but I know that rape laws in Canada are a farce. You get more time for stealing an old Chevy than attacking someone over the age of 15.

I've always been told that if you want to press charges - call it assault.
