Adamax after three weeks, my take vs regular Semax

So I finally got around to trying Adamax. Been curious about it for a while since I have plenty of experience with N-Acetyl Semax Amidate and wanted to see if the "longer acting, more potent" claims held up anecdotally. Ran it for about three weeks at a low intranasal dose, once daily in the morning.

For me the onset felt smoother than Semax. Less of that sharp jittery push that hits 10 minutes after a Semax spray. Adamax kinda crept up over 20-30 minutes and felt more like a clean plateau. Focus was solid, maybe not as intense as a big Semax dose, but it lasted longer. I'd say a good 4-5 hours of productive work vs the 2-ish I get from Semax before it drops off.

Downside was I got a mild headache around week two, similar to what I have gotten with other Semax variants. Backed off for a day and it went away. Also noticed some irritability if I dosed too late in the day, which tracks with the overstimulation side effect people mention.

Overall I think I prefer Adamax for longer work sessions. Semax still wins for a quick burst before a meeting or short task. Anyone else compared these two directly? Curious if the duration difference held up for you or if it was just my own experience.
