How would I go about getting tested to see if I’d ingested medication I didn’t want to ?

[paranoidbutjustified]

Is this something a gp could do or I’d need to go private?

I can’t post too much detail as I’m anxious. I have a relative who I see regularly and is a very difficult personality (think narcissistic)
In the last few weeks behaviour has been odd, at first I thought nothing of it but I’m having drinks FORCED upon me and it’s very very odd. If I say no thanks it causes a problem, if I forget I HAVE to have another and this person hovers watching me drink it.
I thought it was just too much trying to be overly nice or misguided attempt to be a good host but it’s creepy.

Anyway I’ve been ill lately and the mire time I’ve spent there the worse it is and my symptoms are leading me to believe something could be in my drinks , although they taste ok.
Comments have been made too about my help being invaluable and if I were to have more children that would make it difficult and I’m starting to panic have I been given something because of this ?

I know it sounds mad but my symptoms are really really odd and there’s a lot of history with this person that could make this very likely. Is there some kind of tests I could have ? Specifically for this I’m really very worried and upset

I think I need to speak to the gp I feel as if I’m either having something done to me or I’m not thinking straight
I’m not going to go there and see how my symptoms are and how I am

I think the obvious solution is that you must refuse to have a drink.
It may ‘cause a problem’ but it is simply a fact that no one can make you consume anything. It may help you feel better to take back control in this way too. Even if this person is not spiking your drinks, they are being weirdly controlling and it’s time this stopped.
I hope you feel better soon.

Maybe stop taking the drinks
Nobody can force you to drink anything

It’s hard to explain why it hasnt registered sooner as there are a difficult person anyway and I’m always busy and rushing and never want to cause a problem so just put it down to their odd ways but as the time has gone on and I feel so out of sorts I’ve been overthinking everything

If you really must visit her, I’d be not drinking anything, even if it causes massive upset. Can you make it a flying visit and say you not have time for a cuppa?

Does she watch you drink it? Can you pour it into a plant/plastic water bottle?

My local police force has been doing events and advice around stalking and harrassment so perhaps there are dedicated officers who could advise you?
I would begin by writing EVERY SINGLE THING down - and this may be more for your own peace of kind then anything else. Write down the date of every visit you made,exactly what you had to eat or drink and any symptoms you think you had. Write down any comments made that made you feel pressured into eating/drinking. Verbatim. Whoever you tell to about this would need some sort of evidence rather than a vague feeling anyway and a diary would help establish patterns or hopefully disprove patterns.
I'm not clear in the type of relationship there is here. Who is this person? What history do you have? How able are they to potentially do this? Have they ever done anything malicious or criminal before?

I wonder if you would get a reaction if you mentioned that you had been feling unwell and the doctor had done some blood work to investigate if there is a problem with hormone levels...

You can buy the contraceptive pill online with an online prescription and provide your own BP figures etc. I had to do this once or twice when I dropped the ball on my pill supply. Lloyd's Pharmacy do it.

Don't drink anything else they give you.
As pp said you could mention your doctor investigating your hormone levels as you have been bleeding irregularly and having migraines.

Why do you keep visiting them?

Put the glass down and knock it over as you pick it back up. Then go make your own drink.

Personally if it's in your head that bad you need to keep away from this person.

Even if they are not putting anything in your drink they are behaving weirdly. Who forces an adult visitor to have a drink and then stands over them?

That's menacing behaviour.

Actually I have just thought why don't you phone them and tell them you think you are pregnant and see if they get angry and then confess what they've been doing.

Get a couple of small urine sample bottles from the pharmacy. Put a sample of the drink in that, and a urine sample in the other. Take to the police and ask themto test them. Pay if necessary.

After that always make sure to have a bottle of water with you, keep it in your bag and only drink that. You're either giving up caffeine or cutting back on sugar, depending on what you get given to drink. You do not like caffeine/sugar-free varieties.

Are you there now? Can you search the area where drinks are bring made? Kitchen drawers, inside tins etc?

I'd definetely be trying to get a sample of the drink and see if you can get it tested.

See if this company could test the drink?

They can't test. In post mortems maybe when they're told what to look for, but not on live people. If you know what you're drugged with, they can test for that, but they can't test for the many thousands of drugs out there.

To be honest I'd stop visiting. See if your cycle goes back to normal.

Of course you could call 101, but you might get a very unsympathetic copper who thinks you're off your rocker which isn't going to help anything.

I'd just stop going really.

Take an empty drink bottle. Say "oh I'm not thirsty now, but I'll save it for later". Pour into bottle and leave.
Either you get a sample of the drink or a reaction from the person.

Publishers would reject this, I'm afraid.

Whether the drinks are being spiked or not, if you think this person would be capable of doing that you need to keep away. No amount of guilt or feeling that you owe someone something dictates that you should make yourself vulnerable.

Who is the person in relation to you?

Publishers ?? I’m not making this up why would I do that?
If you think I am report it mnhq can look at my posting history and see that I’ve had serious issues with this relationship over the years. I would never waste people’s time with a made up story I’m genuinely worried and stressed 😔

I’m going to not see the person involved for a while and see how I feel and go to the gp in case anything else is causing my symptoms

I don't think contraceptive pills are soluble in drink? I could be wrong though as it's many years since I had them.
