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?

Does "potency" just mean that it requires a lower doage? Or do certain effects last longer? I have heard that the stimulating effects of semax do not last as long as the other nootropic effects.

Both. The Acetyl group makes is pass the BBB faster, and protects the N-terminus from enzymes. The amidation protects the C-terminus from enzymes. So it gets to the brain faster, in higher quantities, and remains in plasma longer.
