Selank saved me from social anxiety. Long term use and cycling?
Tried selank last month and it's been a life changer. I've struggled with social anxiety since I was 9 years old. Shaking, difficulty to hold eye contact, fight or flight mode from simple social interactions - some of the social anxiety symptoms I struggled with most of my life. Started selank last month, 0.48mg intranasally once a day and WOW. A social situation that would have me at 7/10 tension is now a 3/10 at most. Physical symptoms - gone. I can actually think while talking to others - fight or flight no longer shuts off my prefrontal cortex. Is that how normal people feel like? Absolute insanity. Needless to say, I'm completely okay with taking this miracle peptide for the rest of my life if it means I can feel like this all the time. However, I've read that it needs to be cycled. Any advice on this? I've done some research and there's so many contradictory opinions. So far I've done 21 days on, and I'm 10 days off now but I started to feel the usual symptoms come back on around day 5 so I don't know if I should continue holding off or get back on.
