Would taking SEMAX prevent some of the benefits of exercise? Would it potentiate others?

So SEMAX appears to be a good drug to prevent hypoxia related neuronal damage. As such, it seems plausible that taking semax during intense aerobic exercise would be a good way to reduce the damage that could potentially take place with it.
However, would it reduce the expression of VEGF? If that were the case, what would you say is better: less hypoxia or more VEGF? It seems like a part of the VEGF that acts on the brain is actually produced outside of it so my guess is that taking SEMAX before exercise would produce a net gain. I'm no medical authority though, so I ask /r/Nootropics.
My other question is if SEMAX, being that it increases the response to amphetamine, would be beneficial in regards to the motivation boost produced by exercise through dopamine and beta-phenilalanine increase.
Do you see any other reason to take SEMAX apart from the previous? Has anyone experimented with the effects of SEMAX on mood or performance while exercising?

You sound a lot like me except two times as smart and dedicated. I worked a lot with SAP and Avaya and always envied the consultants on what I saw as an adventure(and their pay).. Unfortunately, family obligations wouldn't allow me to join the fun. SAP is probably the most unintuitive content I've worked with, I'm impressed you made sense of it. So glad to be out of it.
Advair for me is $385 without insurance so I don't know how much more expensive you can go. I will ask my doc about Montelukast. Do you experience any noticeable sides?

Some of the SAP projects I worked on were stupid amounts of money for the whole project. I was teaching Accenture guys that considered anything less than a $100 Million deal to be small. The numbers they threw around were just crazy. Me coming in for a week or two for tens of thousands of dollars was a rounding error to them.
Montelukast will probably be cheaper than that. I think it was like $200/month. Still cost prohibitive for many people.
