Drink-spiking victim explains symptoms to look out for

If you think you have been spiked, seek medical assistance and report the incident to police. Support and information is available at Spiking UK on 07785 742738 and email, and Drink Aware on 0300 123 1110 and email.

A woman who says her drink was spiked in a bar has shared the symptoms she experienced.

Havva Ramadan, who features in Channel 4’s documentary The Truth About Spiking: UNTOLD, told Good Morning Britain on Monday (23 October) that she “lost control of all [her] motor neurones,” slurred her words and felt like she could not move her limbs.

In the documentary, Ms Ramadan said she was spiked on a night out after “some guy made it clear he liked me, I was talking to another guy, I could see he didn’t like it.”
