First Week on Semax

So I ordered Semax and had it delivered last week and started dosing pretty much immediately. I started on 1 spray of 200mcg Semax and noticed my vision seemed to be a bit better but outside of that not too many effects, maybe a slight lift in mood? At the same time I took Semax I also took Selank so I was attributing some of the effects of Selank to Semax, for those that are interested as to what Selank feels like I feel like the closet nootropic blend is Noopept and maybe some l-theanine mixed? But anyway back to Semax, I tried 200mcg the first day and noticed mild effects that were hardly discernible from placebo. I decided to stepped up the dosage to 400mcg the next day and notice what I can only describe as extreme anhedonia, so bad infact that I was concerned to take Semax again feeling extreme anhedonia for 8 - 12 hours is pretty crappy honestly, anyway on to the next day. Day 3 I opted to drop back down to 200mcg of Semax and 200mcg of Selank and all seemed well on both of them but the effects that I was experiencing were mostly from the Selank I believe. Now on to the fun part, I took 800mcg today based on the amount of Semax that was used in multiple studies and holy s*…
What they were answering

Can the placebo effect really be ruled out based on the magnitude of response? I was under the impression that placebo could do some pretty crazy things.
Do you know of any type of bell shaped dose response curve with Semax or is it really that individualized?

It's very individualized. It also changes based on ROA. Some people get better effects nasally, while others much prefer subcutaneous. We've thrown a lot of variables into the equation with 3 different versions, two ROAs, and two spray dosages per version. So it can be a bit complicated. We need to do some formal polls on it soon. We are also setting up some scientific studies for it with Arizona State University, which will hopefully get us some good data.
