My first month on Adamax + Selank: focus boost or just placebo?

Question

8 mg each morning and again in the early afternoon, because a friend mentioned it might be a more stable Semax analog. I paired it with 400 mcg of Selank at night, hoping the anxiolytic vibe would smooth out any jitter from the Adamax. For the first few days I felt a mild edge – I could sit through my grad‑school readings without my mind wandering, and my workouts felt a bit sharper. By day 7 the “edge” seemed to level off; I wasn’t crashing, but the boost wasn’t as obvious as the initial hype. I did notice a slight headache in the evenings, which cleared after a glass of water. My mood was steadier, maybe a touch less anxious, but I can’t tell if that’s the Selank or just feeling more rested. Overall, I’m curious if I’m just riding a placebo wave or if the combination really helps. Anyone else tried Adamax with Selank, and what did you notice?

I’ve tried a similar stack a few months ago, so I can share what I felt. For me the first week gave a noticeable lift – I was able to read dense papers for longer stretches and my bench presses felt a touch more focused. By the second week the “sharpness” settled into a calmer baseline; I didn’t feel a crash, just a steadier headspace. I did get occasional dull headaches late in the day, which seemed to go away after a bigger water intake and a short walk. It’s hard to separate Selank’s anxiolytic feel from just better sleep, but I did notice less pre‑workout nerves. Perhaps the plateau is simply the body normalising – I’ve found cycling off after 4‑6 weeks helps reset the perceived benefit. Have you tried cutting the afternoon dose to see if the edge lasts longer?
