NA-Selank Amidate nasal irritation getting worse at week 3, anyone else?

Hey all, I've been on NA-Selank Amidate for about three weeks now, using it intranasal in the morning for that calm focus thing I was chasing. The first week or so felt great, kind of a smooth alertness without the jitters I get from stims, and my anxiety dialed down a notch, or at least it seemed like it.

But the nasal irritation is getting worse, not better. Starts as a mild burn about 30 seconds after I spray, then turns into this dry almost-raw feeling inside my nose that lasts a couple hours. By day three this week it was bad enough I almost skipped a dose because I didn't want to deal with it.

I've tried spraying less volume per nostril, and I do saline rinse before and after. Is this just an adjustment thing my body gets past, or does it mean I need to drop the dose or switch to regular Selank? Curious what others have actually run into long term 🔬
