Hi baz-za - it'a always nice to post the full clues so that people without the puzzle can more readily help :-)

16d I-sold-e(cstasy) ("Tristan & Isolde")
18d Hereford (cattle; low[er]; moo[er]) - '(t)herefor(e)' (limits removed) + 'd(awdle)' (start)

22a Yes

[baz-za]

16d Arachne broks drugs law - she took love potion. I have i-o-d-. And 18d Lower limits removed, therefore start to dawdle. I have -e-e-o-d

Sorry Mamya -

16d Arachne broke drugs law - she took love potion (6)
18d Lower limits removed, therefore start to dawdle (8)

(Arachne is the setter)

Oops :-)

Yes indeed - many thanks!
