If the woman suspects a drug — such as GHB
or Rohypnol — was used in an assault, it is
important to get tested for it within four to eight hours. |

If you think you've been drugged and/or raped:
- SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!
YOU HAVE A SMALL WINDOW TO BE TESTED FOR THE PRESENCE OF DATE
RAPE DRUGS! After that time is gone, the drug residue will pass
through your system and cannot be detected in blood or urine. Also,
you may have injuries you are not aware of due to shock.
- If possible, keep some of the substance with you for testing.
- Do not bathe or shower because your body is
evidence.
- Start remembering any details of the events including your
attacker (hair color, height/weight, clothing, skin color, scars and
tatoos, etc.), any vehicle and its details (state, license plate,
make, model, color, dents), location, or anything else, and write
these down if possible
- Get some counseling - Local Rape Crisis Centers are invaluable
help. Look them up in the Yellow Pages
