Getting rid of SEMAX headaches?
Original post in this thread

I started taking SEMAX 200 mcg nasal spray from ceretropic about 4 days ago, and I've been having fairly consistent headaches about 1-2 hours after dosing. I've only been taking one spray a day, in the morning, and while the immediate effects have been subtle, I have noticed an improvement in mental stamina, stress management, and multitasking throughout the work day.
Normally I would stop taking any sort of medication if it's clear that it's causing me headaches, but the headaches I experience with SEMAX are so light, and its benefits so noticeable, that I have decided to give it an extended trial. That being said, I would rather spend the remainder of this trial headache-free, however light they may be.
So, my questions is this: Is there anything I could be taking in conjunction with SEMAX in order to eliminate the headaches (i.e. choline, 5-htp, etc.)? Has anyone had any such success?

would the amidation affect the nasal absorption? I really want to try semax but the whole sub-q route doesn't appeal much because housemates and sharps, so I'd rather spray it up my nose.

I have been taking all the peptides nasally for a few months, with good effects. The amidate seems to be smoother and more nootropic than the regular N-Acetyl. The N-Acetyl seems to be more stimulating. That makes sense, since the acetyl group is off the ACTH fragment. The new amidate is off the PGP, which is the nootropic end of the peptide.
