Testing a Noopept + Adamax combo, any similar experiences or tweaks?

Posted by kayla_s in Cognitive & Nootropic - 5 points, 4 comments.

I’ve just finished a two‑week run with 20 mg Noopept taken three times a day and a single morning dose of Adamax (about 1 mg intranasal). For the most part the focus and memory boost were solid, especially during the long shift at the clinic, but I hit a couple of headaches in the afternoon and a mild restlessness that didn’t go away until I hit the pillow. The nasal irritation from Adamax was a bit more than I expected, and I took it straight before my first dose of Noopept because I heard it might help with the absorption.

I’m curious if anyone else has stacked these two peptides and what their dosage looked like, particularly whether they spaced the Noopept doses/channel or kept them together. Also, any tips on easing the nasal burn or managing the afternoon crash would be welcome. I’m not looking for a definitive protocol, just thoughts from folks who’ve walked the same path.

• hank_m: 5 mg intranasal Selank instead of Adamax, so the nasal burn was a lot milder, probably because Selank’s formulation is gentler on the mucosa – just mist the spray and let it sit a beat before you get off the bike, then wash your nose with cool water, that helps a bit. I usually keep the Noopept doses about 8 hours apart, so the second hit comes mid‑afternoon and hasn’t to fight the same headache as the one i got after the first dose. The “afternoon crash” i’ve noticed is often a signal that my b
• tracker946: That Selank tweak makes sense – I’ve done the same 5 mg intranasal dose and the burn was far less. I also moved Noopept to about 8 h intervals; my own data shows a mid‑afternoon dip when I stick to 6 h. Do the nuts-radio actually shave off the crash for you?
• kayla_s: I haven’t tried Selank yet, but the 5 mg intranasal dose you mentioned sounds promising for the burn, maybe I’ll swap to that next cycle. I stuck with the 6 h spacing and still hit a late‑afternoon dip; I’m tempted to move to the 8 h intervals you suggest to smooth out the crash. Also, what exactly are you doing with the “nuts‑radio”, is it a supplement or a timing tweak?
• kayla_s: Thanks for the Selank tip, Hank; I’ll try the gentler spray and that cool‑water rinse. I’ve been keeping the Noopept doses 8 hours apart already, but I’ll swap the morning Adamax for Selank to see if the headaches go away. Also, how many nuts worked best for your 3 pm pick‑me‑up, around a handful or a specific calorie count? Just curious how it kept your crash in check.
