Negligible effects from Semax

Just figured I'd share my experience, since most people are reporting amazing results from semax. I'm super jealous. I got the nasal spray and have tried dosing anywhere from 200ug to 1.2mg. Don't notice a thing--perhaps a bit more on edge but no stimulation.
My dad has had similar (lack of) results. We react virtually the same to all drugs (hypersensitive to racetams, no "high" from cocaine/mph, and the ability to handle absurd amounts of caffeine with no jitters). I'm sure semax is great for y'all so consider yourselves lucky.
I also tried semax with an amphetamine and didn't notice any difference. I'll give that a shot again at a higher dose.
On a side-note, I was a pretty heavy stimulant user up until new years, so I'll have some symptoms of withdrawal for a while (especially because I still play with stimulants on occasion). I was originally hoping semax would help neutralize the withdrawals but so far I've hardly felt a thing.
Any advice? Should I push my dose even higher? Maybe I'm naturally tolerant to all things that effect dopamine/serotonin levels (which, I mean, I have always been...).

I have a few reports from people similar to you. They all have one thing in common: dopaminergic stimulant use. Some people have used amphetamine for ADHD for years, and do not notice Semax. Others that have used Methylphenidate have the same results. It's not universal, though. Many people that use stimulants get good effects. It seems to be a small subset of stimulant users that have no effects. Of course there are other non-stimulant users that get side effects like anxiety too.
