Adamax vs regular Semax, anyone switched and noticed a real difference?

So I tried Semax a while back, the standard nasal version. Felt a mild focus bump, nothing dramatic. Could've been placebo honestly. Lasted maybe an hour and a half before I didn't notice anything anymore. Which tracks with the short half-life.

Now I keep seeing Adamax mentioned as a more stable Semax analog. Supposedly longer acting and more potent. The BDNF angle interests me but I haven't found much real-world feedback on it. The profile page here says microgram to low milligram range, once or twice daily. That's a pretty wide range imo.

My main question is whether people who've used both actually felt a meaningful difference. Or is Adamax just Semax with better marketing? The overstimulation and headache side effects listed make me a little cautious since I already get tension headaches pretty easily.

Also curious about nasal irritation. Regular Semax was fine for me but I've heard some analogs can sting more. Imo that's a make-or-break thing for daily use.

Not looking for a dose recommendation, just want to hear actual experiences before I go down another rabbit hole. I've already spent enough on compounds that did basically nothing for me.
