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 wonder if it's related more to tolerance or because people who enjoy stimulants react differently.
phenylpiracetam, I get no stimulation just cognitive effects. serious weak sauce compared to how people hype it.
sulbutiamine, i feel nothing.
but those are not very strong anyway.
I will try semax tomorrow and see how it is.

It's probably multiple things. There are certainly long-term changes to the brain after regular stimulant use, or abuse. Pair that with the fact that Semax is never going to be as stimulating as Amphetamine, and you get expectations that are not met.
