My experience trying a Semax and Selank combo for study stress

I have been feeling super burnt out lately with my research and my brain just feels like mush, so I decided to try a little experiment with some nasal peptides to see if I could steady my focus without getting the jitters. I started using Semax in the mornings because I wanted that BDNF boost for my memory, but I found that it made me feel a bit too wired and restless for my liking, like my thoughts were racing too fast to actually catch them 🧠.

To balance that out, I started adding Selank in the afternoons, and for me, it seemed to take the edge off that overstimulation and helped my mood feel more level, it was almost like a gentle calming effect without making me sleepy. I have been doing a light version of this for about two weeks now and I noticed that while Semax gives me that initial push, the Selank really helps me stay grounded when the anxiety kicks in during long study sessions. I am curious if anyone else has tried stacking these two together or if you prefer using them at different times of the day to avoid the headache I sometimes get from the Semax 💯.
