HELP: Roofies/Other Date-Rape Drugs

The other weekend I went to a popular London club (very exclusive, celebrity filled) with a group of my friends and I believe that I was roofied - not by my friends, but by someone else in the club:
I awoke the next morning in a random bedroom of a man's flat, by myself and in my outfit from the previous night. I presumed that I was in one of my friend's flats - for a few have rented them for the next few months as they intern in the city, but the man who walked into the room was not one of my friends, or a friend of my friends.
I do not remember A THING from the previous night. Not one thing past a certain point. The weirdest part is that his flat was located somewhat on the outskirts of the city, which means that we left together and I got into his car, which drove us home. I have blacked out before (only once, from alcohol) but that was very different - I had a patchy memory of the events that had transcribed. On this particular night, I hadn't had that much to drink, and when I later talked to my friends, they told me that I had simply vanished from the club without telling any of them (I was with a large group of about 10). I also was not answering my cell phone, even though they had called and texted tons of times, and the man I was with later told me that he had turned off my phone for me since it was ringing all night. That is also very VERY out of character behavior for me - for I would never go home with a guy I'd just met, especially without telling anyone.
I do not believe I was sexually assaulted - I woke up in my clothing with what appeared to be a bit of dried vomit on my shirt, and I am also very aware of the different way your body feels the day after having sex, so I know for a fact that this did not occur. The next morning I felt very confused and groggy, but it was somewhat different from a normal hangover.
So right now, I am just feeling very freaked out and scared - even though the whole ordeal is over. Anyone have any advice/suggestion? Also, what would you now, if you were in this situation?

How scary. Why don't you call an emergency room and ask if they can do a blood test? If they can't or don't, I might also try the police department.

I would definitely call the police.
