The appropriate time to issue them is up to the flight surgeon, and the appropriate time to use them is up to the individual pilot. I'm not going to weigh-in on the incident you're mentioning because it's a can of worms that would be inappropriate to open up here, but he did claim go-pill use was a factor.
Just for a better idea of the process, it's not like they prescribe a bottle of 50 pills to last you a deployment - it's maybe 2 or 4 issued right before you step to fly and dependent on the duration of the sortie.
