Cerebrolysin: first cycle

https://www.peptideresearchinstitute.org/dosage-protocols/cerebrolysin-20mg says 5mg per day for30 days, seems a bit low though, still researching

That's the same thing I'm finding. 5 ml is the max recommended dosage via IM. Anything higher is via IV. I ordered 20-5 mg ampules so I'm going to use them 5 days on/2 off until it's gone. I think I'm going to use 25g/1.5" with 5 ml syringes. I've never given myself an IM shot, but in for a dime, in for a dollar, as they say.

Your link also recommends reconstituting with 3 ml BAC. The amber ampules above have instructions to use undiluted. Make sure you know what you're getting.

I think that some people are getting the lypholized "cerebro" that I'm not sure that we know what it is. Here is the dosage chart straight from Everpharma for various things. I would think for our off label usage we would dose on the lowest end of these charts?

Since I recently finished my first cycle of cerebrolysin, I thought I'd post a bit about my experience.

First: I used the Ever Pharma 10 mL ampules, which is the real cerebrolysin. The 30mg lypholized vials that you sometimes find labeled as cerebrolysin appear to be cerebroprotein, which may do something, but it's not the same stuff. For one thing. the ampules are ~215mg per mL, so you'd need 7 of those vials to even come close to the smallest dose I was taking.

My initial cycle:

• I started at 1 mL as an intra-muscular injection 5 days on / 2 off for two weeks. That was mostly to decide if I could tolerate it (and could deal with daily IM injections).
• I followed that with 4 weeks of 5 days on / 2 off at 5 mL IM.

By the third day on the low dose, I was immediately seeing changes. I've been doing a language-learning course, and I suddenly started remembering all the flash cards on the first pass. I also started having very clear memories from my childhood -- things I hadn't thought about for many years.

On the higher dose, I noticed my sense of smell and my eyesight sharpened. I became far more comfortable interacting with people (I'm an extreme introvert). Many of the things that annoyed me before, became mildly amusing. Friends have commented that I seem far more relaxed.

One of the reasons I did this first cycle is that I have tinnitus. The tinnitus changed over the course of the cycle -- got quieter with a different tone. It's still there, but I'm now hearing things I couldn't hear before.

So far, the changes are pretty much holding at a couple of weeks after the last injection.

My only issue is doing the IM injection. I had to do breathing exercises every day before I could convince myself that stabbing a 1 1/2 inch needle into my leg or glute would not be the end of me. It never actually hurt, but it was always slightly traumatic. (Aside: I mentioned doing IMs to my doctor and she told me she'd been doing them for 15+ years and she still has to mentally prep for them. It got easier learning I wasn't alone in that.)

I'm planning on doing another cycle, probably in two months, maybe three.

Thank you for sharing such detail about cerebrolysin and the changes you observed.

I’m so curious now that it’s a month later, have you considered continuing or restarting early?

Are you continuing to see as much or maybe even more evidence of improved memory (the language flashcards detail is incredible) or any other phenomena? Are other people still noticing changes like your being able to brush off irritants? Any thinking speed or executive function benefits?

That's the protocol I'm following. My vendor has powder vials, but I don't know what that really is either, other than their reassurances "it's the same thing". I'm not so sure and they have no test results for it. I'm waiting on the real deal.

Most of the benefits are staying, although some have faded a bit. My tinnitus has remained at a lower volume. Improved memory has continued with maybe a slight fall off -- I haven't been "playing" with memory much in the last couple of weeks (holiday distractions) so I don't have a strong feeling on that at the moment. I've almost forgotten the things that used to irritate me, so that's pretty much stayed.

I'm probably going to start a second cycle around the first of March.

Wow, , thanks for following up with those details! That’s still really impressive. It’s made me very interested. i share a lot of the same things, and I’d like to see improvement. Especially in short term memory like that. And maintaining my equilibrium. And the complex tinnitus.
What kind of dosing protocol are you thinking for March?

Your update is greatly appreciated! I’m waiting for my ampules and very interested in what I find in personal results
