JB9217a recounted a troubling experience during a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which left them questioning whether they may have been drugged. While attending a lively pool party at a gay establishment with their husband, both enjoyed a few drinks—nothing unusual for a vacation setting, and certainly within their normal limits. But after one additional drink, JB9217a’s memory abruptly cut off. What followed was a complete blackout, interspersed only with hazy flashes: a sensation of being detached from their body, difficulty speaking, vomiting, and overwhelming drowsiness.
They eventually woke in the early morning hours, suddenly feeling back to normal, but shaken. The experience deeply affected the rest of the trip. JB9217a expressed ongoing distress over the missing time and uncharacteristic symptoms, noting that their husband also found the incident highly unusual. While grateful to have been in the care of someone they trust, they’re left with lingering unease and unresolved questions. They plan to process the experience with their therapist but shared their story in the hopes of connecting with others who may have faced similar situations.
