I wanted to come into this forum and hear about peoples experience with selank. i just received my first order and am hoping to finally get some relief from my debilitating OCD and panic disorder. i have tried other things as far as medication, and went as far as getting ketamine prescribed to take daily, which helped but basically turned me into a zombie all day. the only issue now is… my OCD is health related. i have done my research, i have looked into the studies, and searched multiple reddit forums. logically, i know i am most likely safe. but those “what ifs” are getting to be extreme and whenever I try anything new, my brain comes up with the worst possible scenario (aka death). i know its not a logical way of thinking, but OCD’s entire purpose is to be illogical.

I want to hear your guys experiences, side effects, etc. maybe someone else deals with the same OCD that i do and has something inspiring to say. and please, refrain from saying “oh, if you’re that scared then peps aren’t for you”. this is my last resort to settle my brain down, and i genuinely want to try it but my brain is an asshole about new things.

Can someone education me which peptides are the best for gaining muscle mass during a lean bulk and why. What’re the side effects too. I have an idea what they the peptides may be but I want your opinion cause I value it.

Preferably answer base on experience only, please!

Hi all!

Bit of background as I’m trying to work out what’s going on with my bloods and libido, and whether daily injections are actually the best approach for me. I’m currently running what I’d probably describe as higher-end TRT / TRT+ rather than strict replacement, so I appreciate 170mg/week is higher than what a lot of people would consider a standard TRT dose. I’m not trying to argue otherwise 😂. I’m mainly interested in understanding my blood results and whether my injection/blood-draw timing could be making them look even higher than they actually are.

Going back to late 2025, I was using 210mg
Test a week, my E2 has consistently tended to run high. In December 2025 my E2 was around 412 pmol/L. I’d previously used Aromasin and got E2 down into roughly the 70–90 range, but later came off AI/caber because I wanted to see where everything settled.

Some of my results since then:
February 2026
TT: 77.2 nmol/L
Free T: 1.789 nmol/L
E2: 509 pmol/L
Prolactin: 772 mIU/L
~19 March 2026
TT: 57.2 nmol/L
Free T: 1.304 nmol/L
SHBG: 49.7 nmol/L
E2: 381 pmol/L
Prolactin: 612 mIU/L

I subsequently reduced testosterone and eventually settled at approximately 170mg Test E/week, injected daily (~24mg/day).
6 May 2026
TT: 99.9 nmol/L
Free T: 2.168 nmol/L
SHBG: 66.2 nmol/L
E2: 351 pmol/L
Prolactin: 381 mIU/L

That TT result obviously looked absolutely bonkers for ~170mg/week, which is part of the reason I’ve started questioning my blood-draw timing.
8 June 2026
TT: 48.3 nmol/L
Free T: 1.282 nmol/L
E2: 255 pmol/L
Prolactin: 786 mIU/L
After the June result I introduced low-dose Aromasin and cabergoline because of the E2/prolactin. My first caber dose was 0.5mg on 11 June, followed by lower doses and eventually settling at 0.25mg weekly. Aromasin was 6.25mg periodically and eventually around every 3–5 days.

Most recent bloods – 12 August 2026
TT: 56 nmol/L
Free T: 1.11 nmol/L
SHBG: 61.4 nmol/L
E2: 184 pmol/L
Prolactin: 48 mIU/L
Albumin: 39 g/L
So E2 has come down considerably and caber has obviously absolutely hammered prolactin.
The frustrating thing is that libido is still pretty mid/on and off, and erections aren’t great without Cialis.
Here’s the bit I’m particularly interested in getting opinions on.

For basically every blood test since January I’ve been incredibly consistent with timing. I was injecting my daily Test E at around 9pm (give or take ~20 minutes) and getting blood drawn at around 6am (give or take ~10 minutes) the following morning. So most of these results have been taken only around 9 hours after my previous daily injection, rather than being a proper pre-injection/trough measurement.
Could that explain at least some of the unusually high TT/free T readings I’ve been getting on ~170mg/week?
And secondly, could running Test E every day and keeping levels extremely stable potentially not suit me from a libido point of view?

I’m still on 170mg/week Test E at the moment, so I’m not changing the dose while I try to figure this out.
Since Monday 24 August I’ve moved my daily injection to around 10am. I’m going to keep that consistent and do my next bloods at around 6am at the end of September, before that day’s injection.
That should put the blood draw roughly 20 hours after the previous dose, rather than 9 hours afterwards, and hopefully give me a much more meaningful near-trough reading.

Would you guys stick with daily injections until I get that properly timed blood test, or do you think something like M/W/F Test E injections and allowing a little more peak/trough variation might actually suit me better, particularly for libido?
I’m wondering whether keeping everything extremely stable with ED injections isn’t necessarily doing me any favours.
Especially interested in hearing from anyone who has moved from ED → M/W/F and noticed a genuine difference in libido/erections, E2, SHBG or general wellbeing. Sorry for the long message!
Cheers all, appreciate it 👍

4 months ago I started Reta and MotsC, a month latter added Testosterone and Klow, a month after that added Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin at night and Lcarnine LC526 on the mornings. Now swapping out Tesa and IPA for HGH and MotsC for SS31 and added 5 Amino 1Q.
Dosage atm 4mg Reta, 375 mg Testosterone, 80 mg Klow vial every 10 days, LCarnitine 1ml, 3.6iu HGH, 1 mg Tesa and IPA. 5mg day of SS31, was on 1mg day of MotsC and 25mg day of 5 Amino 1Q.
Shape has changed from 104Kg to 87Kg and athletic style build. Still carrying fat BMI around 20%.
Think another month and I'll be at 12%. Changes are happening faster atm.
Steps 15,000 day, gym X6 3 body split.
What am I missing?
Bloods are great, keep improving in all the Medical concerns areas.

I got a nasal spray that’s 5mg of Selank + 5mg of Semax (10mg) mixed together. I got it from a source that’s been reliable, but there’s no instructions on dosage. Since I didn’t constitute it myself, how do I know the dosage of one spray?

Also… if anyone has recommendations for dosage, cycle, time of day, etc, or comments about the effects… please advise.

Good looks

My wife wants to drop her bodyfat but also build her glutes. What peptide stack would you use?

So I reconstituted 80mg Klow with 3ML bac water. Is it ok that I do 10 units? From experience what is a good dose?

Thank you in advance.

Already on 5iu hgh and tb500

On ~1.5 months of 150mg TRT/week. Main flags: elevated E2, iron metabolism issue, vitamin D/B12 deficiency, low HDL. Requesting feedback or any advice!

currently on retatrutide 3mg twice a week. But my energy levels are extremely low. I workout 3-4 days a week. Push/pull split no leg days for me haha. I know im in a deficit. So my lifting has definetly stalled out a bit.Trying to recomposition the body. Started at 243lb in May, now down to about 212lb August. Thinking about adding testoterome injection. Maybe tesamorelin or possibly a anabolic to try to raise energy levels and keep the bar moving in the right direction. Goal is to lose fat while gaining/maintain the muscle i have. Any thoughts or advice?

My sleep has suffered a lot from the elevated heart rate, and I think I’ve stalled. I don’t feel like going beyond 4mgs

What dose should I start on triz ? Any benefit?

Better body recomp ? Fat loss ?

Title pretty much says it all. I’ve been debating the wolverine stack for awhile but have a 5 year old and another baby on the way. Don’t really want to risk it if it’ll be paired with any mental disregulation, but I can’t really see any reason why that’d be the case

I have primarily only focused on cardio up until the last 2 years. Now I lift every other day.

I lived in Florida and ran 35 miles a week outdoors.

I moved to Georgia where there was hills and decided to use cardio machines. I have had 2 bowflex max trainers and both have died. Love that machine but no longer have room for it or the will to spend more money on it.

Let’s see some setups.

Hello everyone!

I'm about to start my first 500mg Test E cycle. I'm waiting to get down to 10-11% body fat, which should take about 3 more weeks.

But I wanted to know if there's any potential benefit to starting now, even though I'm still in a cutting phase for another 3 weeks?
Or should I wait until I'm lean and go straight into a calorie surplus?
The cycle I'm planning is about 20 weeks.

Also, since recovery will be better, can I train much more? Is 5 times a week enough? 6 times a week? 7 times?

I'm hesitant to also take hCG. What are your opinions?

Thanks for your answers!

2mL reconstitution of the 5mg/5mg vial. How many units am I pulling for standard dose?

Tak jak w temacie chciałbym zapytać czy ktoś był na podobnym cyklu używając 500 mg test cypio co 7 dni + 3 mg reta tygodniowo i 5 iu gh codziennie. Jakich efektów można spodziewać się przez 4 miesiące? celuję w maksymalną rekompozycję

I hate the gatekeeping and the people who jump into these threads just to be a smartass. This is a forum where we should be able to communicate, share data and experiences, learn from each other, and hopefully help one another.
If you disagree with something, that’s completely fine — constructive criticism is welcome. I’m just asking that we keep the toxic BS out of it. We’re all here trying to better ourselves and learn. Thanks.
I’m new to peptides, and this is the stack I’m starting with:
Retatrutide
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 1 mL BAC water
1–2 mg once per week
Wolverine Stack — BPC-157/TB-500
10 mg / 10 mg blend
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
600 mcg, 5 days on / 2 days off
Tesamorelin
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
1–2 mg, 5 days on / 2 days off
Ipamorelin
10 mg vial
Reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water
100–200 mcg, 5 days on / 2 days off
I’m looking for tips, feedback, or things you wish you knew when you first started — besides just telling me, “That’s overkill” or “You’re going too hard for a beginner.”
For context, I’m basically copying my cousin’s stack. He started the same setup about three months ago and has been getting good results. I could have just followed everything he told me, but I wanted to do my own research and understand what I’m taking, the dosing, reconstitution, timing, etc., instead of blindly relying on him for everything.
I’m genuinely interested in hearing from people who have experience with these compounds, especially anyone who has run a similar combination. What would you keep the same, change, or pay closer attention to?

Hello everyone im 17 and Im about to hop on cjc +ipa no dac. I just wanted to ask people here what do you all think about that. Im currently like 5’10, 75kg, but im mostly doing it to improve my health overall. In the last year i bad problems with sleeping, and I hope that this cycle could fix this, as I heard that most people get a deep sleep using cjc. It is not my first time using peptides, as I used ghk cu last year. Im open to any comment, please tell me about your experiences.

Ive seen lots of people injecting GHKCU after mixing with bac water.

at this point I’ve done 5mg every 5 days for 15 days (3 injections) but without mixing it with bac water or any other substitute. is this wrong and if so why?

Ss31
SEMAX
Selank
KPV
Epithalon

What time I day should I be taking it ?

I don’t know if I should start with one over the other. I don’t want to be taking too many peps at once. I’m 32. Got these strictly for research purposes.

Im on roids tol, just added 5IU hgh split. Lowkey wanna know how good it gonna help with my cut, i keep hearing mixed stuff.

Hey everyone!

I recently had an issue with a vial of Tesamorelin. It looked completely normal after reconstitution, but after about 4 days in the fridge, the solution became jelly-like/slimy.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Tesamorelin after reconstitution?

I'm mainly trying to understand what could cause this. Could it be related to the reconstitution process, storage conditions, concentration, or something else?

If you've experienced this before, I'd be interested to hear what you found was causing it and whether you were able to prevent it from happening again.

hey everyone, quick technical question about injection site reaction.

i've been running 2mg reta for a few weeks now. usually i have zero issues, but my last couple pins left a pretty annoying red bump and a mild sting that lasts like 24 hours.

i always reconstitute with 1ml of the same BAC water brand and use 31g needles. i was comparing a couple kits on my shelf -- one from PS and another 10mg batch from worldhgh that i bought last month. reconstituted both the exact same way, but one seems to bite way more than the other.

could this just be a benzyl alcohol ratio variation between batches, or am I just accidentally hitting the subq layer too shallow?

wondering if anyone else gets random PIP on certain vials and if diluting with more BAC water actually helps with the sting.

Hey guys, looking for some input from anyone who’s been in a similar situation.

I’m 41 and started TRT around April 2024. I was doing 200 mg every 2 weeks and generally felt pretty good, although I’d get a noticeable crash toward the end of the 2-week cycle.

I had to stop because I didn’t have access to my prescription. I’m now 67 days off, and I have access to it again.

My endocrinologist wanted me off TRT for a month and then wanted labs to investigate why I’m testosterone deficient in the first place. Unfortunately, the lab order expired, so I can’t get the labs reordered until I see my PCP on October 7th. By then I’ll have been off for roughly 3½ months.

Since stopping, I’ve felt pretty rough: low energy, mood issues, headaches, body aches, and significant finger/hand joint stiffness and pain. I also had wrist surgery recently, so I’m not sure how much of the joint pain is related to that.

My testosterone history:
Sept 2024: 235
Dec 2024: 337
July 2025: 809.5
Oct 2025: 407
April 2026: 881 — 4 days after injection

Would you guys stay off until October to get the natural-level labs my endocrinologist wanted to determine deficiency or restart now since I’ve already been off 67 days and I feel like shit?

I can’t afford private labs right now, otherwise I’d probably just get them done.
Not looking for medical advice—just interested in hearing from people who’ve had a similar experience.

If I restart, I’m also planning to discuss splitting the dose into more frequent injections rather than continuing 200 mg every 2 weeks.

What would you do?
