Semax and Selank for depression

Original post in this thread

feelsnumbman · 16 points

Hey guys, I think this is a bit of a long shot here but here goes. I know Semax and Selank has been out for quite a while and I've only really taken an interest in them recently. After a bit of Googling around and such, I read that Semax and Selank have potential to help people with depression out. I'm not sure how much of it is true nor have I read much experiences about depression and the two, but I was just wondering if there's anyone out here who actually have experiences with it and could chime in about it. Really, any experiences would be appreciated. I noticed there seems to be more good stuff about it than bad. Perhaps, the people who have not really experienced much of a benefit from it decided not to report it in case it might steer people away from trying? Eh? Haha

Anyways, long story short: I've tried a lot of stuff. The noots I've tried never really did much for me, which includes stuff like rhodiola, uridine, CDP-choline, L-theanine, aniracetam, noopept. I feel like I'm a rare case. I've also gave a few antidepressants a try before too, but that didn't really seem to do much. I've tried working out and while it was better than just sitting around doing nothing I did…

They might help a bit. It just depends on your type of depression. Semax definitely gives me more energy, so that might help those with lethargic depression. Selank might help those with anxious depression. They both increase BDNF, so the mechanism could help. However, tianeptine is much better than either of them. And on that note, all three together are much better than each individually. I am taking semax, selank, tianeptine, and P21 right now, and it has me in a fantastic mood.

What's the lowdown on using nootropics to aid recovery from brain injuries?

Replying to 10_KG_VALUE_PACK · I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Semax or Cerebrolysin yet, which AFAIK are probably the most well-researched compounds in treating brain injury. P21's probably worth a look too du

P21 is much more potent than Cerebrolysin at binding to CNTF. This should, in theory, make it better at promoting neurotransmitter synthesis and neuronal growth. However, as you said, human studies are lacking. Semax an
