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...).

Well, hopefully we'll know soon. I'm considering pursuing parkinson's research after college, and all research in that area provides a lot of information about dopamine pathways.
In the mean time I'm guinea-pigging myself.

We definitely need more research into dysfunction in the dopamine pathways. We only have a basic idea of how it works at the moment.
