Rohypnol

If you notice a person has passed out,
get medical attention immediately, call 911, or they may die!

Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam) commonly referred to as "Roofies" is a strong sedative similar to Xanax and about ten times the strength of Valium. A user may feel intoxicated then sleepy, and exhibit slurred speech, impaired judgment, amnesia, respiratory distress, and blackouts.

The potential for overdose or death is high when mixed with alcohol.

Please know that:  Law Enforcement does not monitor emergency rooms  and hospitals are not required to report  drug overdoses to Law Enforcement.  If  someone has become passed out it is important to get them medical attention immediately!

Call 911 immediately, or get the individual to an emergency room.
