I received my SS-31, SELANK, and Semax today.

[PAPoots]

My protocol is Semax at breakfast and post lunch for brain fog. Selank is breakfast and a couple hours before bed to hold back stress and anxiety. SS-31 is for mitochondria support.
I've spent so many hours researching these and it seems the Russians stopped human trials around the early 2000s. And the research doesn't cover doses much and every applications was intranasal.
Any thoughts on the amount of pinning? I mean, is it worth the 2x per day regimen, or should I just take a larger Semax dose when I wake up and once dose of Selank before bed.

I’ve been pinning 500mcg of semax and Selank for five days. First three days I pinned in the evening, had sleep disturbances (feeling wired) so the day before and yesterday I pinned Selank at night, still had sleep disturbances (feeling wired) so today I’m did both in the morning as soon as I woke up ill see how my sleep is tonight. Hopefully it’s more restful.

What kind of "wired"? like anxious or energetic or unceasing thought? Or just insomnia?

I am on a long ss-31 protocol (among other peps), currently pinning 4mg each AM, 2d pin of the day. It gives me great energy and puts me in a good mood. I pin selank at 700mcg at 9:30pm nightly, titrated up from 300mcg and moved hours around, with the goal of selank reducing my very high night-time cortisol. My current PM protocol is VIP 150mcg 3x a week at 9pm, Selank 700mcg at 9:30pm and KPV 2mg at 10pm - and I've been sleeping so much better. I note that I have been working on my sleep (which was in a 4-year insomnia phase) since September 2024.

Racing thoughts, like I couldn’t shut my brain off. Which for me is not normal, usually when I lay down I’m out in ten minutes or less, with that stuff I was tossing and turning till 1 am. I’m about to go to bed here soon and I feel like I will probably have no issues tonight.

So while not completely successful the morning pin did result in better sleep, this morning I decreased the dose by 50% I’ll see if there’s improvement tonight

I've never even thought of dosing these at night. I alternate Semax/Selank on slower, less demanding days with Adderall, or moda, or other things on more demanding work days.

It's totally different, but I still get that same focus, verbal fluency and confidence I get from stimulants, just more subtle and in the background.

SS31 has been incredible alongside mots. SS31 every morning 4-5 mg, and mots every couple of days and usually before a heavy workout day. They feel so good together, it's such a great amped but warm, cellular energy. I can't imagine trying these at night!
