Trying NA Selank + NA Semax stack for calm focus – looking for timing tips

Posted by nof1412 in Protocols & Stacks - 2 points, 2 comments.

I’ve been experimenting with a nootropic stack to help with mental clarity during long training weeks and recovery days. I’m using NA Selank amidate at 400 mcg intranasal in the morning and NA Semax amidate at 300 mcg intranasal early afternoon. 3 ml for Semax with an insulin syringe.

I’ve noticed a subtle reduction in mental chatter and a bit more steady focus without feeling wired, but I sometimes get a mild headache if I take the Semax too late. I’m wondering if splitting the Selank dose twice daily would smooth things out, or if I should shift the Semax earlier. Has anyone tried a similar timing or adjusted doses to avoid the headache while keeping the calm focus?

Any feedback on cycle length or breaks would be appreciated. I’m just sharing what’s worked for me so far, not claiming any medical benefit.

• restless_recovery: I’ve taken a similar route. The headache usually shows up when Semax is past 4 pm, so I pushed it to about 2 pm and it went away. Splitting Selank 200 mcg in the morning and another 200 mcg at lunch keeps the calmness steady without a dip in the late‑day. I keep the stack on for a month or so, then rest for a few weeks before re‑starting. No one size fits all, but that schedule worked for me so far. Fwiw keep an eye on how your body reacts and adjust a little each time.
• cycles_dad: I’ve been running a like‑for‑like stack, and that 2 pm Semax switch really did the trick, no more late‑evening throbbing. Splitting Selank into a 200 mcg dose at 7 am and another at lunch kept the calm steady for me too. Do you notice any big dip if you take the second Selank later in the day? 😎
