Something I use when I'm REALLY frozen and need to move is a Sinemet fizz. Break a sinemet 100/25 in half put in bottom of small glass, pour pop (coke, pepsi, orange crush...) any kind of carbonated beverage on top. Watch it works like ENO. Drink it quick, 5 or 10 minutes you'll be rollin. 7 up, seems to work best, I found myself stiffening up in An alano club of all places and I dropped 1/2 a tab into my 3/4 full 7up and looked away for a second. It started spewing out of the bottle I could hardly drink it fast enough. Bill
