Can A Club Drug Cause Violent Actions?

Hi. I think I was drugged a couple nights ago. I have already been to my PCP, who ran a tox panel. I have not been to the bathroom since the incident, which caused me to act very violently. Is there any way GHB or ketemine or one of the club drugs out there could be causing this?

it's pretty classic for phencyclidine (pcp) and/or ketamine. But remember ! most of the brain's cells are inhibitory; so anything that damps down the brain (especially alcohol) damps down inhibitions and can cause violence.
