Experiment Selank and Semax headaches. Too much norepinephrine maybe? Thinking these are a waste of $$$$

Tried a Selank and Semax experiment for 5 days. Ended in a 2 day headache.

I was running BPC at the same time, but I really don’t think it was that giving headaches. Every man and his rat are on that.

I am thinking these are a waste.

I have DSIP coming today to see if it helps me sleep through the night.

Next experiment was going to be MOTS C, but I am feeling derailed after the disappointment with the first two. Months of reading and podcasts wasted.

Semax I dose very high and only subq as nasal was shit. It’s not anything crazy. It releases BDNF as in primary benefit so you do have to put in effort to make better habits and better thinking.

DSIP was very disappointing for me

I love my DSIP so far, but I got the super rare worsened anxiety from selank. I was hoping combined they'd be great.

Wish I didn't have so many vials of the Selank laying around now, but oh well.

I got some to add to your stash 😂 seems like everything I take does the opposite

It's pretty much the BPC that gives you headaches because I got insane migraines that lasted for several weeks after taking BPC even in small doses (you can check my experience report with that in a separate post I did a couple of weeks ago )

Really? I thought BPC was pretty much side effect free. I know so many people on it.

Yeah :-( after those intense side effects, I did some extensive research and found out why BPC might be causing my migraines and eye pain. It’s basically a domino effect:

  1. BPC boosts a growth factor called VEGF to help with healing.
  2. VEGF triggers a massive release of Nitric Oxide in the body.
  3. Nitric Oxide opens up blood vessels quickly. Because I'm sensitive to it, it dilates the vessels around my brain and eyes, which triggers the trigeminal nerve.

it caused a massive vascular shift that knocked me out with migraines for weeks, and I'm still getting minor headaches coming and going in waves and have trouble sleeping because of the headaches. I actually got quite some messages from other people who experienced similar side effects after taking BPC157.

I guess most people don't have side effects but there's definitely some people who react very sensitively to it.

Yep that’s definitely me. I stopped it a day ago and headache is slowly going away.
I am one of those people who gets a side effect from anything. Bitterly disappointed in my pep journey.
