First try of the nootropic god stack – what i felt after 3 days

Posted by hank_m in Cognitive & Nootropic - 1 points, 4 comments.

I decided to give the nootropic god stack a shot after reading the thread on semax + selank + dihexa + cerebrolysin because my focus had been wobbling during long writing sessions and i wanted a legit neuroplasticity boost, tbh i was curious, so i set up the protocol overnight: semax 600mcg nasal, selank 400mcg nasal, dihexa 10mg oral, and cerebrolysin 5ml IM in the morning, it’s a bit of a set‑up but i’ve been doing it for a couple of weeks now, i’ve been within the first 3 days and the changes are noticeable, i felt less mental chatter, my concentration held steady through a full 8‑hour day, the anxiety dip was subtle but real, the first night i got vivid dreams like a movie reel, but that’s a known side effect of selank, the next mornings had no grogginess, i still need to see if the memory hop is sustained but the neuroprotection vibe is there, i’ll log more after 7 days, tbh it’s a game changer if it stays stable.

  • humble_zone2: I’ve run a similar mix a few months back, mostly semax and selank with a low‑dose dihexa tablet. For me the first couple of days felt like the background noise in my head turned down – I could sit through a 3‑hour coding sprint without the usual urge to check socials. I did notice the dreams get a bit cinematic, probably the selank, but they didn’t feel disruptive. The biggest surprise was a mild dip in morning cortisol, so I felt less “wired‑but‑tired” after the IM. I’m still watching the memo
  • hank_m: Yeah, that cortisol dip you mentioned rings a bell – i saw a similar “wired‑but‑tired” dip after the first IM too, though i haven’t tracked hormones yet. My focus felt solid through day 3 but i’m curious if i’ll hit that plateau you hit on day 4, especially with the higher dihexa dose. I’m thinking of pulling back dihexa to 5 mg after day 5 and seeing if the boost sticks, any thoughts on that taper or should i keep the full dose a bit longer?
  • amber464: Interesting about that cortisol dip – I saw a similar pattern in my own 5‑day trial, felt calmer after the morning injection but hit a focus ceiling around day 3. Did you notice any change in sleep quality when the “cinematic” dreams showed up?
  • hank_m: Yeah, the night after the first selank dose i slept like a log but woke up with those movie‑style dreams and felt oddly refreshed, the next night the dreams faded and sleep felt a touch deeper, i didn’t see any more night‑time tossing so far. Might be the cortisol dip easing me out of light sleep, will keep an eye on the REM patterns as i hit day 5.
