Has anyone found that when they drink alcohol and are taking Amitriptyline that the effects are similar to the effects of a date rape drug. I know that this is a difficult question because you would need to know the effects of a date rape drug to answer this. I was raped about a year ago and I am still in search of answers. I am trying to figure out if I was slipped a date rape drug or if it was the side effects of drinking on Amitriptyline that caused me to become a victim. Can you consent to sex when you are in and out of consiousness and the brief moments of consiousness seem like a dream?
