I purchased Semax around almost a week and a half ago and after having four intra-nasal administrations I figured I would let you all know how it is working out for me.
My first dose was to put it plainly, subtle. Which isn't a bad thing whatsoever. I'd choose subtle over punch you right in the goddamn face mega-ultra-extreme jittery madness any day. Within the first thirty minutes I noticed a wave of slight calmness and mental clarity. I proceeded to play a little bit of Counter-Strike and noticed my reaction times were significantly quicker and my reasoning skills were sped up allowing me to better judge how to approach different situations quickly within the fast-paced game leading me to a better score than usual.

When combined with semax, this hasn't been an issue. I'm not sure if this is because I'm making better decisions, allowing me to avoid these distracting issues before they can engulf my attention, or if I'm simply able to evaluate their priority better.
I've also been taking it solo as a study tool for training for work. I haven't had to take an exam yet,
My biggest complaint about my experiences with semax is that I always seem to get a mild headache about 2 hours after using it. However, the mood boost more than makes up for it.
The level of alertness I get from semax could just as well be chalked up to the jolt of having water sprayed up my nose. The mellowing effect that sneaks u…
