It doesn't matter when in relation to anything. The effect is so total and overwhelming that it is as though I had never taken any meds. It completely blocks them even at triple and quadruple doses.

I think that what happens is that the glutamate, which is an excitatory neurotransmitter, just blows the dopamine, an inhibitory neurotransmiiter, completely out of the water. As a result it is as though there is no dopamine there. Scarey as hell. Lasts two to four hours.

Thank you very much!
