Just tried the Nootropic God Stack – here’s what happened to my focus
Posted by kayla_s in Cognitive & Nootropic - 10 points, 9 comments.
I started the Nootropic God Stack last month after reading a forum thread that described a mix of Semax, Selank, Dihexa, and Cerebrolysin. I’ve never taken steroids, but I did get a 5 ml Cerebrolysin pre‑filled syringe from a supplier that’s been vetted in the community. Pitch‑point: 600 mcg Semax and 400 mcg Selank by nasal spray each morning, 10 mg Dihexa in the evening, and the 5 ml injection every other day.
I kept a simple journal. On day two I noticed a steady uptick in my ability to stay on a writing project for longer stretches, and my memory of minor details seemed sharper. I did get a mild headache on the first two days, and the injection site hurt a bit, but that faded after the third dose.
The anxiety knock‑down from Selank was noticeable when I was about to dive into a long block of code. I’ve been cautious with dosage, staying near the lower end, and I’ll keep monitoring my energy and mood over the next month.

- sleep_restless: I have been experimenting with Semax and Selank for a few weeks myself, mostly for daytime focus and mild anxiety. For me a nasal dose of 600 mcg Semax in the morning and 400 mcg Selank a couple of times a day does not usually give a headache, but I do notice a slight post‑nasal irritation that clears up after a few days. I have not used Dihexa or Cerebrolysin yet, so I cannot comment on their safety or effectiveness, but from what I read the data is still very preliminary and most reports are s
- researcher_night: Anecdotally, i’ve felt a similar mild post‑nasal irritation when hurdling through the first week of semax/selank. It usually subsides by day three or four, and it’s not as strong as a headache. I’d suggest keeping a log of any mucosal changes, because evenoracle reports of irritation sometimes point to underlying congestion or sensitivity. If Maybe you can look into a study that measured local tolerance over a month, i’m curious what the data says about nasal mucosa safety. Beyond that, it soun
- data_optimizer: I’ve been on a similar mix for a month now – Semax and Selank through the nose and a 10 mg Dihexa drop each night, but I skip Cerebrolysin because the injection keeps me on edge. My focus did lift a bit early, especially during long coding sessions, but I notice it wanes if I’m sleep‑deprived or stressed. The headache I got was probably just a reaction to the first uitspraak of each peptide. I’ve been keeping the doses low and watching how my mood shifts before the next injection. How long have
- mito_rational: I’ve stuck to the same nasal combo for about a month now, skipping Cerebrolysin for the same reason you mentioned. My anxiety dipped a touch, but only when I kept the dose steady and got good sleep – after a bout of sleeplessness I felt a bit more jittery, so I’ve been tightening the timing. 🙂
- sanjay_j: Fwiw I’ve been on the full stack for six weeks. Focus stayed up but I felt a mild jitter after each Cerebrolysin shot, which eased after I cut the dose to 2.5 ml. Anxiety didn’t rise, just that brief spike. How’s your sleep been?
- kayla_s: The sleep hasn’t shifted much on my end; I still hit the 7‑8‑hour mark. A few nights after the 5 ml shot I felt a little jittery and woke up a bit earlier, but the next morning it voulons normal. 5 ml like you did to see if the wake‑up jitter disappears completely. Have you noticed any other changes, like mood or appetite, with the smaller dose?
- kayla_s: Jitter after sleepless nights is a classic cue, good thing you’re tightening the timing. , to line them up with when my cortisol spikes, so the rhythm feels steadier. Do you do ceva light stretch or deep breathing before the spray? I found a 10‑τον breath session helps quiet the jitter and makes the anxiety dip more pronounced. Also, how’s the headache from the first few days? I still get a mild one but it’s gone after the second dose.
- kayla_s: I’ve been on it for about four weeks now, taking the 5 ml Cerebrolysin every other day. The injection site hurt the first few times but eased after the third dose and I didn’t notice a big swing in my anxiety afterward, just a little calmer during the first 30‑minute window after the injection. I’d love to hear how you’re tracking mood shifts; do you use a simple diary or an app?
- kayla_s: Thanks for the heads‑up about the irritation, that’s exactly what I’ve seen with the first few days of the stack. I’ll start logging mucosal changes more closely. Do you know of a study that tracked nasal tolerance over a month, maybe something on Semax or Selank? Also, would a saline rinse or a humidifier help ease the discomfort while I’m on the cycle?
- kayla_s: Thanks for the heads‑up on the post‑nasal irritation. I’ll keep an eye on that and maybe split the Selank into two smaller doses to see if that eases it. Have you noticed any difference in focus or anxiety when you space the doses? Also, did you notice any change in sleep or mood with the same routine?
