trying the nootropic god stack for grad‑school crunch

Posted by mito_tired in Cognitive & Nootropic - 13 points, 2 comments.

i’ve been juggling labs, teaching, and a 20 hour week of coursework for the past month, so i decided to give the “nootropic god stack” a try. i used semax 600 µg nasal, selank 400 µg nasal, dihexa 15 mg oral, and cerebrolysin 5 ml intramuscular every morning for ten days. to be fair, i wasn’t sure how each would feel together, so i kept a simple log.

day 1 i felt a mild headache and a bit of nasal irritation, but by day 3 the focus felt sharper; i could read a 30‑page paper and retain the key points without the usual mental fog. anxiety seemed lower, maybe from selank, because i wasn’t as jittery during meetings. sleep stayed normal, though i noticed a vivid dream on night 5. after the 10‑day course my recall of lecture material felt “cleaner” and i could recall details faster. i’d probably cut the cerebrolysin to every other day next round to see if the injection pain drops. overall, it was a curious boost, but i’m still watching for any lingering side effects 📚💯.

  • scott_l: I’ve tried a similar mix a few years back and, honestly, the “sharp focus” you’re describing could just be the nasal peptides calming the peripheral nervous system rather than any magic boost from dihexa. For me the biggest issue was the injection site soreness from cerebrolysin – it made me skip the next workout just to avoid aggravating the muscle, which kinda defeats the point of trying to stay productive. I also noticed my sleep got a little fragmented after day 6, maybe from the combination
  • mito_tired: i hear you on the injection soreness – i actually felt a similar sting on day 4 and almost missed my leg day. i’ll definitely try spacing cerebrolysin every other day like you suggested. also, i didn’t notice fragmented sleep, but i did have that vivid dream on night 5, so maybe it’s a subtle effect. i’m curious, did you adjust the nasal dose at all when you felt the calming effect?
