Day 3 of Selank and blown away

I'm about to give selank and semax a try, i'm always overthinking and my short memory is fucked, i have a drug abusing background, too much alcohol, mdma, cannabis, ecstasy in my 20s, tried to compensate my childhood trauma through all the drug using. i had panic attacks 4/5 years ago which lasted almost 2 years, felt like a heart attack every day, got to the cardiac doctor but everything was fine, are these two repairing the nerves/wiring in the brain? So would the benefits/effects lasting even after stop taking these two compounds?
Wishing you the best. Sorry to hear about the childhood trauma. Glad you made it out on this side of thinks.

I took my first dose of Selank this afternoon. Felt I slight lift and relaxation but today was a shit show of a day so I should have waited. I’ll be giving both Semax and Selak another shot tomorrow.
 
They are supposed to have on going residual effects. Sorry to hear what you've been through. I know all about childhood trauma. Check out Selank and also Adalank, an NA version of Selank. Adalank is suggested for PTSD and GAD and is an enhanced version of Selank. I would start with Selank first and see what that does for you.

Has anyone tried both nasal and subq to compare effects?
Yes. I tried Selank sub-q months ago and had no effect whatsoever.

I reconned my first nasal application of NA Selank this evening and took two sprays in each nostril and moments later fully felt that come on. I couldn't tell you exactly "what" came on but definitely a mental adjustment. And now I can't sleep.

I'm going to pay more attention tomorrow and try it in the late afternoon instead of an hour before bed.

You started with the high octane version? Ballsy move. I've wondered about it.

Yeah - it was a trip. Maybe one squirt per instead of two cuz I'm not entirely sure if I reconned it "correctly" or not. I did use a calculator to get close but moving liquid pep and saline from one container to another and the COA said 13.5 and I just did my typical 2ml for 10 and yadda yadda. 🙂

All in the name of research.
 
Thanks for your kind words guys appreciate it, does it also help for social anxiety? I always used alcohol for this, to get socially open really weird it worked but in retrospective i should have faced my fears because this shit fucked up my whole mindset, stopped alcohol for 6 months now and its really hard to connect with people at partys or even meetings, i'm also doing my master for plumbing this year, it was the main reason why i looked at semax and selank because i'm out of school for like 11 years haha

Thanks mate! Keep me up to date i'm very interested what it does for you
 
Iv had a vial of Selank sitting in my fridge for a while, after a pretty stressful day I thought I would give it a try. I took 500mcg around 9pm. I didn't notice much last evening but this morning I woke up and realized this is the first night iv slept through the night in maybe a year? I normally wake up multiple times through out the night from what I assume is a cortisol rush (being self employeed can do this haha).

Yeah, controlling social anxiety us one of its main uses. I have a long history with alcohol and Reta helped me stop completely. I started it to lose weight, but even 1 mg eliminated any desire I had for alcohol. Social gatherings just mean I have some Sprite or seltzer with a lime and no one cares. Someone can drink in front of me now and it's the same as watching paint dry. I think I will always be on it for that reason alone. Great job staying sober for 6 months. One day at a time.

For Selank and Semax, there are several advertised benefits. I use this site as a frequent source because it's continuously updated and has updated protocols. https://pep-pedia.org/
Best of luck on your journey.

Same happened for me. When I started tirz at the beginning of June of 25, I already had 12 months of sobriety and was doing fine - however - and understandably - there would still be urges from time to time and I had been a smoker for years also. On July 28, 2025 I must of tripped a breaker because not only did all "urges" vanish, I also just cold-turkey quit smoking without any issue whatsoever. I'll stay on the T for that reason alone also. It's a trip...and I am grateful.

From my reading to prep for research yes. There is substantial evidence from Russian/eastern-European studies, and practical evidence from prescribed patients, that Selank has a long term effect.

From my research myself I have seen the impact dramatically. The short term impact is to calm the misfiring and dampen the stress response by "enhancing inhibitory GABAergic signaling and modulating the HPA axis, which can blunt the intensity and duration of fight or flight activation. "

That initial stress response that one overreacts to is just quiet. Research here has shown an overall calming effect, worries become manageable thoughts in the background rather than things that must be addressed right now.

I liken it to the one Taylor Tomlinson from one of the more recent Netflix specials. She discusses other people having feelings that walk up to be felt with and those people being able to say "Yes, I know you want to be felt but just not right now..... AND THAT WORKS FOR THEM". Massively paraphrasing here but that's the gist.

Not observing sedation, or lack of drive in any way. I can focus on what I want to focus on without the constant "prep for worst case scenario on these 40 things" going on in the back of my brain.

I've read on NA and Adalank but everything I have found show they are theoretical and I have not located any supporting studies. Selank is relatively cheap and widely available....and it is thoroughly studied outside of the US with impactful results. I'm having trouble (personally) seeing the need for the added cost, sourcing inconvenience, for questionable upside.

Have you found anything concrete on those? If you have please point to it. If there is more there I would definitely reconsider the pros/cons!

I have social anxiety too. When I have a social event, I pin 500 mcg each of Selank and Semax, then take 400 mg of L-theanine. They work best for me when I only use them as needed, not regularly. BTW, if you get coffee jitters, L-theanine works great to counteract them.

Oh, and some people get drowsy from L-theanine. It doesn't affect me that way at all, but if you've never tried it before, I'd test it with 200 mg on a day you're not doing anything else.

No, just anecdotal evidence and my own peptide appetite, I will freely admit. If Selank is good, stronger is better. Most RSs that have used them like the intensified effects. I do think that if someone has GAD or PTSD it would be well worth investigating. As for cost and convenience, it may not be worth it to someone who doesn't experience those issues.

I have NA Semax on order and will post my experience when I start my next cycle.

Please do. I would love to hear it. I sourced a few vials for initial testing but plan to look into full kits. That would be the time to make the shift.

Yeah it's not like i can't speak to people but often when i do, to people i havent met a long time i get nervous and think like "what are they thinking of me?" "What should i say?" "Is it weird when i say this or that?" or if someone is doing fun off me i dont know how to react,I wasn't like that, normally i laughed it off and gave them some joking answer back i think the drugs did a good job and slowly fucked me up, yeah thank you 👍
 
It's quite amazing really! All you needed was a small peptide to win you over.
'Functional high anxiety' oh I like that one. I'm the proto-type lol.
I don't know about the long term remodeling, but we'll find out.
My job is really often stressful and a lot of quick decisions, - a tiny bit of selank in the daytime helps a lot together with semax. And Selank before sleep too, my body feels like a gummi bear. ;-)
I used to do subkutaneous inj, not really convincing effect, but then I made som nasal sprays = OMFG it's working lol
You are correct, tried both myself and the nasal spray works about 10 times better than sub q.
 
That's so great !
I know about denial or just not knowing. I'm a medical doctor, and I didn't realize until I was 42 that I have anxiety. It just didn't occur to me, until my GP said it. I was like : no you are mistaken ! ' So what do you think those symptoms are ?' lol
But I also didn't realize, I'm ADD until 47 or 48, because I was always told : no one goes through medical school if they have ADD/ADHD. No one has those jobs and do those functions with ADD/ADHD. Well, I do have A LOT of co worker with that or autism. So common in my profession.

Anxiety is just one of the most common feelings / disorders, and it comes it so many forms and shapes.

I do have selank, and it shuts my brain up too.

ADHD dx at 47 (if I remember?).
If you haven’t dug into it the estrogen - serotonin connection is interesting. Estrogen drops, so serotonin drops, and then executive function is negatively affected. Previously mostly-coping females go through menopause transition and life falls apart. I clawed my way to my engineering degree, now I know a good part of why. My new industry had more neuro-spicy types, it’s been interesting in a good way.

And the anxiety-Depression-serotonin connection is in there too.

I am convinced we are chemical soup! So much is interconnected.

Still haven’t ordered anything since my pens… selank is still on my short list.
