Rohypnol also severely impairs a user's ability to drive or operate machinery.

What are the long-term effects on the body? General learning can be affected when sedatives like Rohypnol are taken for prolonged periods. It also causes tolerance and  dependence when used regularly Some of the danger signs are: You use it more frequently. You need more and more to get the same effect. You become preoccupied with using it. You spend more money than you have on getting the drug. You miss class, fail to complete assignments, or miss other obligations. You make new friends who do it and neglect old friends who don't. You find it's hard to be happy or to relax without it. You have headaches or trouble sleeping without it. These symptoms can occur a week or more after cessation of use and may include: Headache and muscle pain Extreme anxiety, tension, restlessness, confusion, and irritability Numbness and tingling of the extremities Hallucinations, delirium, convulsions, seizures or shock
