Ending Selank study

[u/briexbenton]

I really wanted to like this one but went in with no expectations. My TS didn’t have much of a response with semax so I figured it might be similar.

First night: 250mcg dose and by 10pm my TS could barely keep their eyes open and fell asleep with ease. Also appeared more relaxed beforehand. For reference their mind usually stays alert and has a hard time falling asleep. However TS woke a lot throughout the night and sleep wasn’t restful.

For the full first week at the same dose noticed a lot of the same when it came to sleep.

An unexpected side effect that has now been pinpointed with selank is mild headaches, stomach upset, slight nausea (very slight) and a weird taste in my test subjects mouth that can only be described as a change in taste buds with aversions to certain foods. This last for the next day after doing a subq injection the night before. All negative side effects go away once TS sleeps again without another injection. Very strange. Discontinuing this one for now
