Side effects for first 30 mins. Semax
I started Semax yesterday. I had 10mg reconstituted with 2mL of BAC water, and I injected 10 units (500mcg).
I have really bad anxiety with anything that makes me feel “different” than normal. You could literally give me a placebo and tell me it might make me feel weird, and I’ll panic.
I’m honestly mentally desperate at this point (bipolar, depression, anxiety, memory issues, etc.), so I decided to try it.
Right after I injected, I felt like it instantly changed something. My chest felt tight, my eyes felt super “open” and focused, and it almost felt like vessels in my brain were opening up and things were flowing.
But after about 30 minutes, I felt GREAT.
I wasn’t stumbling over my words at work, I felt focused and motivated, cleaned the whole lab, and just had an insanely productive day. My head was quieter too...way less negative thought “noise.” I even slept really well that night without laying awake thinking horrible stuff or waking up from nightmares. The next morning, I woke up rested on the first alarm, which NEVER happens for me.
Now I’m conflicted because the chest tightness scared me, but I loved the effects afterward.
If I continue, I’m thinking maybe I should try a lower dose like 250mcg?
Has anyone else experienced this? Was 500mcg too much for a first dose, or does this sound more like anxiety/panic from anticipating the effects? Should I stop? Idk🤷♀️ 😪
