Semax combined with stimulant
Original post in this thread

I am thinking about Semax and wondered if anyone has any experience using both Semax along side of their prescription stimulant medication? In my case I take vyvanse daily, but I couldn't really find much in way of interactions from my research. Any help is appreciated.

Did I misunderstand something? I thought ACTH 4-10 _is_ SEMAX? See, e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15344653
"[The binding of Semax, ACTH 4-10 heptapeptide, to plasma membranes of the rat forebrain basal nuclei and its biodegradation]."
EDIT: Aha, I see. I found another study showing that you're correct, it's ACTH 4-7. Damn, a small detail I hadn't even noticed!
[Protective effect of peptide semax (ACTH(4-7)Pro-Gly-Pro) on the rat heart rate after myocardial infarction].

No, it is 4-7. It's based off ACTH 4-10. Just look at the Semax sequence. There are not enough amino acids to get ACTH 4-10 and the PGP structure on the end.
