Is there any possible way to tell if you've been drugged?!
Question: I work at a club on the weekends, and only drink out of my personal water bottle that I keep hidden from sight (don't drink alcohol since I'm working), and after about halfway through the night It started tasting different, so I threw it away immediatley. I had a trusted friend walk me to my car to make sure I got there, but then on my way home I started feeling really sleepy and fuzzy. Luckily I made it home, and went to bed straight away (which is also unusual). I woke up this morning with a horrible headache, and also slept through alot of it. I feel really lucky to have made it home...
Sorry for the huge amount of details, but I wanted everyone to know the whole story. Is there anything I can do? Possibly a drug test to see if anything is in my system?
Thanks for your insight - and please don't be nasty. I'm just looking for ideas.

walgreens sells a kit that test for 12 drugs (prescription and illegal). it costs about 40 bucks
but in my professional nurse opinion-i would take a trip to the emergency room, urgent care or call your dr right away to see if you can be seen. some drugs don't stay in your system long and the hospital/dr office has better testing methods than the at home kit does.
if someone you work with is possibly trying to harm you-they could do it again. i would want to get myself checked out. this isn't something to play around with or wait on.
go ahead and be checked out within the next couple of hours-it's important. and in the future-if you're ever feeling sick like that-DON'T drive yourself anywhere. have someone take you home,to the hospital,or call 911. you could have passed out behind the wheel. not trying to be mean-us nurses tend to be motherly (and i'm a mommy too).
good luck and i hope you get the answers you need. feel better!!
the headache should be ur first clue, the strange taste of the drink should be the second, it's almost immediate effect on u would be the 3rd. sorry, but it looks like you've got a stalker. someone who knows ur habits. has anyone been coming on to you lately? male or female, it doesn't have to be anything romantic. someone you could have ticked off a few days before? was there someone new in your life right before the incident? a new neighbor, coworker, boss, anyone?
sooner the better. go to your doctor to have your urine and blood tested ASAP. it sure seems, that you got something unsolicited in your system and since you don,t know what it is and what it might do even later, go now...to be sure. good luck to you
