-s

Think I may have been spiked with a drug a few weeks, It's affected me cognitively in quite a drastic way. Headaches in the frontal cortex are daily. Also lacking deep insight, the ability to problem solve or create new ideas. Would love to know what drug did this..............

It would be hard to know specifically what is causing your problem.
Toxicity is everywhere around us. Not just by drugs, but chemical additives.
It has been found many places that pharmaceutical drugs aren't getting filtered out of the water supply. People flush old drugs down the drain, it goes to the treatment plant, then back into the drinking water.
It could also be a pollutant in your area.
Some people have been found to be extra sensitive to electromagnetic pollution from all the cellular towers or major power lines.
Maybe also take a look at your diet, additives & sweeteners can cause problems.
The possible sources are many. Re-examine your recent activities, did you do or eat anything out of the ordinary?

You'd really have to have a talk with a good physician, if you can find one. One who is more open minded and holistic.

But I'd leave "spiking" as a very last resort. Chances are it was something else other than anyone intending harm.

If I told you the details, spiking would be a first resort. And it was all done because of my AS.

I felt sedated for 8 days, with problems retrieving words, became really thirsty drinking 3-4 times my usual amount, but not urinating in proportionate quantity. Then suddenly after 8 days the sedation lifted, followed by extreme anxiety, shakey hands, drooling from corners of mouth, and HEADACHES in the frontal lobe(The brains front half). Ever since I've felt a marked deficit in short term memory, decision making, taste(deciding what is good and bad), planning, problem solving. This all happened weeks ago, I started to stablise then Friday I became dehydrated, the headaches re-started and now I feel really ill and brain damaged. Bizarely This problem is made much worse after orgasm. I think the key to discovering this drug might be the fact that my water comsumption rose but my urination didn't match it.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Yeah, hard to say what's going on but anything that messes with your body's handling of water can potentially be a big deal. Might want to see a doctor.

I.e. Drinking lots of water w/o urinating can dilute your body's sodium level. That, if bad enough, for various reasons can cause the brain to swell, which is bad because the brain is confined inside the skull (can cause brain damage). It also screws with the ability of nerve/brain cells to function properly since they depend on certain concentrations of ions which can cause seizures. Firsthand, it makes you feel sick as hell.

OTOH, you could've been thirsty (well, for any of a bunch of reasons) because your kidneys were keeping too much salt in your blood and your body was trying to dilute it down, since too much salt is also bad. So, it could've also been the exact opposite of the above. Both situations tend to cause headaches. No way to know for sure without tests.

And, of course, it could be a hundred other things that I'm not aware of (had a spell of hyponatremia once which is why I know the above).

OK here's a little advice: you need to get yourself to a doctor as soon as possible.

That doesn't seem like a drug reaction to me, (although I'm certainly not a doctor) ~

Can you please explain why you believe your illness was caused by drug(s)? Perhaps it was something like this,

(and obviously, this is nothing but pure conjecture on my part) ~ You were out having a drink, and there were other people there too, let's say you were at a bar, or some social event. Anyway! (still guessing) at some point, you stepped away for a moment, and left your drink where you couldn't see it (which we all should certainly be able to do this safely, but...) So, then you got back to your drink, which looked perfectly normal, enticing even!.... And then you got back to consuming your drink.... and then, directly afterward you started to feel sedated/unwell? (Bonus points if when you came back to it, your drink seemed to taste a little bit . . . off, or weird... well, at least in retrospect... )

So! Amirite ???

Anyway, I'll emphasize once more I'm (still) not a doctor, however I am a mom, and my mommy antennae have just zapped out a certain special combo of electrical impulses which only I understand, which I quickly convert to English, thus: "That person on the internet needs to go to the doctor!")

[Actually some of that is metaphorical, or do I mean exaggerated lol, but I do wish I had real antennae coming out of my head, maybe something like the feathery ones that moths have, although, I was picturing the telescoping metal kind like you see on the car, portable radios, etc.. So, anyhoo, some of it is in a humorous vein ~ or humorous capillary maybe ~ on the other hand, if any of it was actually humorous, I probably wouldn't be typing out this long, ponderous explanation about why it might be funny .... so take it with a grain of salt. If you have any salt.]

But the part about you going to a doctor? Serious. It's really important. Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, OK now. It's time, for you, to consult a doctor.

I mean, hopefully you do have access to medical care... if not, & if you're in the US, there's always the good ol' Emergency Room. And it seems to me, this is a situation that's worthy of an ER visit, for real.

Thanks or the replies, I was definitely spiked by a pharmacology student, It happened 8 weeks ago and my Dr tells me that any drug would be out of my system after 2 weeks. 3 days ago i began having headaches in my prefrontal cortex(anterior frontal) the forhead basically. sudden;ly my interpretationof the world seems much recuced along with processing of complex ideas and concepts. What to do..........just bought some royal jelly capsuales, as this substance is reputed to initiate nuero-genisis in mammals brains.

Yeah, this is my special interest. A few answers would be helpful.

Did you realize when you had your drink it was spiked? And the day or night that this happened, did your perceptions change in any way? amnesia? From what you have given me so far it sounds like an antipsychotic (thorazine, serouel et) but i need much more info.
