What I found was that 'LS' was undoubtedly the fastest thing available in terms of elapsed time between taking a swig of 'LS' and feeling some effect. However, the bad news seemed to be that the effect wore off equally quickly, and the poor patient was up and down like a yo-yo. (I'm talking about 1 hour from fully off to fully on and back to fully off, with the patient only feeling on for about 20 to 30 minutes in the middle of the cycle. Not a really ideal schedule, and I can see how a person could get trapped into 'chasing their tail' trying to catch up. Regards, -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
