Trying Selank nasal spray for deadline stress – 3 week log

Posted by elle_z in Cognitive & Nootropic - 1 points, 0 comments.

I’ve been juggling a few writing gigs lately and the looming deadlines were making my mind race at night, so I decided to give Selank a shot. I started with a low dose of 200mcg intranasal each morning, just to see how my body reacts. First couple days I felt a subtle calm, like the usual buzz of anxiety was turned down a notch, but I wasn’t sleepy or foggy.

By day four I noticed I could sit down to edit a long article without the usual urge to check my phone every few minutes – it felt easier to stay in the flow. I kept the same dose for the whole three weeks, didn’t stack anything else, and made sure to take it after breakfast. Toward the end of week two I did get a mild headache one afternoon, but it went away after drinking water and resting my eyes for a bit. Sleep seemed unchanged, which was good because I still needed those late‑night bursts of creativity.
