People have used atypical antipsychotics for years to abort bad trips (especially effective is Seroquel because it also has a sedatory effect). It definitely works, but most people would take an oral form which is not immediate (30-60 minutes depending on the drug). Presumably an injection would be immediate or almost immediate.

Science is so funny sometimes. You could probably have a successful career by reading erowid and "discovering" things about drugs.

Maybe machine learning techniques could correlate chemical drug composition with experiences described on erowid and similar databases to provide new insights into brain chemistry? It would presumably take some effort to automate distinguishing important data (exact substance, dosage taken, emotions, physical reactions, euphoria, paranoia...) from random hallucinatory tails.
