Moda+BioPerine = 'Missing Time'

This morning when I got to work (about 8am local time) I took 200mg Modvigil and 10mg Bioperine (taking a couple days off the rest of my stack while I experiment with Mod); after taking both I started working, and next thing I know, one of my colleagues is sending me an IM asking if I'm ready to go to lunch.

Bioperine is a CYP3A4 inhibitor. Grapefruit juice is also a CYP3A4 inhibitor. I have taken modafinil with grapefruit juice before, and did not notice any missing time. However, I have definitely experienced the same situation before. It usually happened when I was younger. I would be doing something, then realize hours had passed in mere seconds, with no recollection of what had transpired. I was around other people, and they said I was just acting normal. However, the memories of the events were gone. It's very strange to say the least.
