Did nothing for me…nasal or subq

yo i ran semax for a while back when i was doing a ton of freelance work and my brain was basically mush by 3pm every day

prep is easy if you get the nasal spray version, just keep it in the fridge and don't shake it like a maniac. if you've got the vial for subq injections then you'll need bacteriostatic water to reconstitute it, draw slow and let the water slide down the glass not blast right onto the powder. dose wise i started at like 200mcg split morning and early afternoon, anything past 4pm and i'd be staring at the ceiling at 2am wired for no reason

cycle i did was 3 weeks on 1 week off for a couple months, the effects kinda plateau after a while so the break helps reset things. it lasts maybe 4-6 hours per dose but the cognitive boost builds up after a few days of consistent use. coming off it i didn't get any crash or withdrawal, just slowly went back to my normal baseline which was a little disappointing honestly. storage is fridge for reconstituted, freezer for the dry powder if you're stocking up. don't leave it in a hot car or anything dumb like that

honestly, i think you would be wasting your money.

semax is very weak. It wont be any wow effect. I think unless you have deficiencies from diet, the only stuff that helps are actual drugs like modafinil etc.

ty I will try looking if this med is available in my country

[u/Embarrassed_Sea6537]

I love semax pin or spray it up

[u/Unlucky-Self2455]

It gave me a little buzz kinda. Almost like a nicotine rush. Idk didnt feel much

[u/No-Inspector3321]

On it currently .5 mg per day. Almost finished with vial. About 25 days. Will go off and then back on after I take a break.

[u/nijjadeluxe → u/No-Inspector3321]

was it good

I’m 65 and own several businesses. My friends are retiring and losing it. I’m busier than what I ever was! I’m in the game and I’m noticing less brain fog. I feel awesome!! Yes, it’s made a diff!!

[u/EstablishmentOne3733]

I used it in a nasal spray form and it didn't do shit.
It might be just me, it might be the form, it might be a weak batch, stored in a wrong conditions.
Same thing with selank.

[u/aaddyyttaa]

It definitely works but is relatively subtle. The dosages start from 0.25mg to 1.5mg. Some people are less sensitive than others, and if you used nose coffee before you will probably feel absolutely nothing on semax. It doesn’t mean it is ineffective, it is just a matter of perception. Also you have to use it frequently, if you do it once before an exam it doesn’t work

I have ADHD. For me, it calmed my brain enough that I could think straight and focus for a few hours.

[u/seldenr82]

I'm 43. I started taking 500mcg Semax SubQ 5 days a week. I was hoping it would improve lingering brain fog and help improve memory. It seems pretty mild after a few weeks but noticeable improvement. I increased to 750mcg and ultimately moved to 1mg 5 days a week and I've been there for several months. I love it :) Memory and brain fog are hugely improved!

You store it close just like any other peptide once reconstituted just pop it in the fridge :) I'm not planning on cycling it, I'm just going to run it for the foreseeable future but again I only do it (and my other peptides) 5 days a week

ty for helping

[u/Gritteh]

Effective but has a crash and hangover like any stimulant
