• Changed perceptions;
• Lethargy or laziness (both physical and mental);
• Changes in the perception of time;
• A sense of warped reality; of sinking into nothingness;

• The effects subside after one day, but one remains unable to work.

Unpleasant effects:

• Anxiety;
• A feeling of extreme tiredness;
• Nausea, vomiting (very common);
