Rape and Amitriptyline

[Maggie]

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.

I think drinking when having taken amitriptyline would have the same effects as a strong sedative such as a date rape drug.
when I was younger I was offered some amitriptyline at a party and stupidly took a few, I had also had a few drinks, within around 20 minutes I was fast asleep.
