Hello
I would like to know if after a dosage increase , do you still need to wait 2-3 weeks before feeling the positive effect or is it usually quicker (since the drug has already been in the body)

I'd say you definately have to wait longer. Each dose takes time to kick in, and every higher dose. Maybe not as long, but definately sometime. The brain has to adapt to the increase in psychoactive substance.
