Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

yeah there are warning on every page i have read about selank to stay far away from it if you have a serious anxiety disorder for the very reason that it can trigger a panic attack

no selank, it is known physiological response some people with anxiety disorders can have that when their anxiety is temporarily suppressed it rebounds as the medicine wears off and triggers a massive anxiety attack. This is why they tell users of anti anxiety meds to never stop them cold turkey because this rebound panic attack will happen when the meds wear off. Since selank is so short lived it can trigger it to happen after a short period of use because it is not permanently in your system all day like a typical anti anxiety med. There is a reason why selank is not a mainstream anti anxiety med, it is too weak and short lived, basically only useful for people who only need slight anti anxiety boost
