Semax question(s)

So I ordered the nasal Semax from Ceretropic last Friday and finally got it today, which means it took almost a week to get here. (This is NOT ceretropic's fault, they shipped asap, USPS sucks and had delays and it took almost a week to get from AZ to TX, pathetic.) So I was excited to finally try it today, and after 2 sprays of 200mcg I felt nothing. So I decided to do a 3rd about an hour later. Still nothing. I've not read a story about non responsders to Semax so now I'm guessing it's a result of taking so damn long to get to me. The little packet that is supposed to keep the Semax cool (I assume?) was quite warm when I took it out of the package. It seems likely the Semax was ruined by heat/taking too long to get to me. Is this likely/possible or am I doing something wrong or what? This is actually really frustrating, but more disappointing than anything after hearing great stories and waiting a week for the product.
Again, Ceretropic is not at fault here at all, they shipped in a timely manner and responded to my email regarding shipping concerns quickly, but I'm still disappointed.
I cannot afford to order a second one and hope that it doesn't get ruined as well. :/

Don't worry, it did not break down. The sprays are very stable. The cold pack is meant to be an extra precaution, and be a heat sink to stabilize the package. I've had nasal sprays out for over a month that work fine. 5 days is nothing.
Some people are expecting Semax to be like amphetamine. It's not. It is a very different type of stimulation, which does not really show itself unless you do something out of the ordinary, or mix it with actual stimulants. And some people just flat out do not respond to it at any dosage. Every substance is that way. Brain chemistry ranges so much. Some people hate Tianeptine, while others have had their lives changed by it. Some people respond very well to Semax, while others don't notice anything acutely.
Give it some time. Keep trying it for a week, and see how you feel. Play with dosages too. A lot of people, like myself, respond much better to high dosages. Hell, I am using 600mcg of N-Acetyl Semax Amidate, which is a lot stronger than regular Semax. Then I have customers writing me saying just the N-Acetyl Semax is too strong for them, and they are going back to the regular Semax. Everyone is different.
