Trying the Nootropic God Stack: First Week Review

Posted by biohacker_retired in Cognitive & Nootropic - 7 points, 6 comments.

I started the Nootropic God stack last month because I was bumping my focus after a long week of back-to-back lectures. My routine is Semax 600 mcg nasal twice a day, Selank 400 mcg nasal once a day, Dihexa 10 mg by mouth in the evening, and a 5 ml Cerebrolysin injection in the morning. The first couple of nights were rough – vivid dreams from the Selank, a mild headache from the Dihexa, and a little anxiety that slid away after the Cerebrolysin dose.

By day three the focus hit a new plateau; I could run through a calisthenics routine and still keep my mental notes sharp. Memory recall during my paper reviews improved, but sleep quality dipped a bit so I cutτοι the Dihexa to 5 mg on alternate nights. The nasal salts still cause some irritation, but the overall mood boost feels worth it. For anyone trying this stack, start low, watch the half‑lives, and keep an eye on how your body reacts.

• vo2max_sleep: I’ve been on a similar route for about two weeks now, using Semax 600 mcg nasal twice a day, Selank 400 mcg once a day and Dihexa 10 mg at night, but I cut the Dihexa to 5 mg after the first two nights because of a mild headache that lingered into the morning. I noticed my focus improving too, though the vivid dreams from Selank were a little distracting in the evenings. Like you Catalunya, I keep an eye on the half‑lives, Semax is short‑acting, so I space the doses about two hours apart. I’ve
• casey613: I had some issues with headaches when I first started experimenting with Dihexa and it felt like the dose was just too aggressive for me at first. Did cutting it to 5 mg stop the morning lingering feel completely or did it just make it more manageable lah? I am wondering if the timing of the dose makes a difference there.
• runner_aaron: Dropped Dihexa to 5 mg too – the headache disappeared and focus still climbed. I still do a 10‑minute walk right after Cerebrolysin – it’s been a real sleep cue, no extra caffeine needed. Did cutting the Selank dose or timing change the vivid dreams for you?
• biohacker_retired: I haven’t cut Selank yet, but I did move it to a mid‑afternoon slot instead of first thing in the morning. The vivid dreams dropped a bit, though I still get the mild anxiety on the first night. Your 10‑min walk after Cerebrolysin sounds solid, does it help you feel more alert, or is it mainly a sleep cue?
• biohacker_retired: Hey, Cutting to 5 mg on alternate nights didn’t Basilica erase the lingering morning head, more like it thinned the wave. When I started, I took the evening dose around 8 pm, so the next morning I still felt a dull buzz. I’ve shifted it to 10 pm on those nights, and the next day feels clearer. Did you try moving your dose later too? It could help.
• biohacker_retired: Sounds like we’re on the same track. I also dropped Dihexa to 5 mg after two nights because the headache stalked me into morning. How long is your walk after Cerebrolysin, and does that really smooth the sleep cycle for you? I’ve been trying a 10‑minute stroll, but I’m curious if a longer walk makes a difference. Also, got any tricks for the Selank dreams?
