i ALWAYS worry my drink has been spiked too. i never let it out my sight, if i do then i poor it away. i think your anxiety convinces you that you have been spiked so u panic thus making u feel like u have been spiked. a vicious cycle

Hi Mike,
Welcome to the site. The feeling of no longer being alone can make a lot of difference. I am a fan of the chatroom and I speak to real people in real time, helps me tremendously. I wish you all the best.

Welcome to the forum, Mike.

I have had this more often in the past, not as much any more. If I buy milk, water etc and I feel the lid isn't closed properly I always throw it away and think someone might have poisoned it in the shop. And I will still throw water away if I am at a bar etc and I haven't kept an eye on it or even at home when I am not sure if someone else has drunk from it. I get worried that someone has some lurgies. ;)
I get this with other things. I was washing up wine glasses last night and one snapped. Even though it clearly didnt cut my hand it took me ages to accept that there wasn't a peice of glass there.
This is "normal" thinking when you have anxiety. You have to try and reason with yourself that for example that tiny piece that fell on the floor clearly didnt get into your mouth.
I am sorry I can't help more but just wanted to let you know I can relate.
