At the tail end of the sixties I took my Leary, Alpert, Huxley very  
seriously.  I really got into acid for a few years.  From experience  
I found that it was impossible to trip more often than once about  
every three days.  At least a week between attempts was better.  I  
never did find out just what was being depleted.  Whatever it was  
seemed to be recovered faster with heavy doses of vitamins,  
especially C.
