My first weeks on Adamax – focus boost or just placebo?

I started experimenting with Adamax a month ago because I read it is a more stable Semax analogue. I used 1 µg nasal spray each morning, right after waking, and added a second 0.5 µg dose around 2 pm when my work day got heavy. For the first few days I felt a slight “clear‑head” sensation, like the fog after a long winter night was lifting. My focus on writing articles seemed steadier and I didn’t need to pause as often to look up words.

Around day 8 I noticed a mild headache that disappeared after I reduced the afternoon dose to 0.25 µg. I also felt a bit more irritable on days I missed the morning spray – maybe just my mind reacting to the routine change. Sleep was unchanged, and I didn’t experience any nasal irritation.
I think Adamax gave me a modest focus lift, but I’m still not sure if it’s more than a placebo effect. Anyone else using similar dosing? Any tips on managing the occasional headache would be welcome ⚡.
