36F, 5 months on Reta with excellent results — I've already passed my weight loss target. I'm now going to the gym and trying to be more consistent, though it's still a bit of a struggle. I added selank and semax sub q and have definitely noticed a positive shift. At one point on Reta I was doom scrolling and stuck on the couch. After about 2/3 weeks on selank/semax I've seen improvement. Where I used to look at piles of clothes and not want to start or finish the task, I now have the same feeling but get it done anyway 😂 Lately I've felt motivated and have actually been accomplishing things, so I wanted to share my results. I hope the effect lasts.
 
Great to hear. Those two worked well for me too — semax especially, although Selank sometimes helped me get back to sleep during restless nights that Reta brought on.

You might want to try the nasal route, or at least give it a shot. With Selank in particular, I found the effects came through much stronger and more consistently that way.
 
My husband and brother refer to semax as motivation in a bottle. For me, though, it seems to have no effect whatsoever. My selank, on the other hand, I really love.
 
So far I’ve only used Selank for 2 days. Do the effects need some time before they show up? I’m testing Semax and Selank one at a time so I can tell which one causes what. Any extra insight would be helpful.

With IN, the effects of Selank showed up within hours for me. I've been trying subq as well, and to be honest I don't feel it contributes anything.

Keeping expectations realistic matters. You won't get a benzo-like hit or flutter — what you get is a steadier mood, and stress triggers carry less of a punch.

When you say “I don’t think it adds anything,” do you mean it gives nothing beyond what IN already provides, or that subq produces no noticeable effect at all for you?

Subq does give me an effect, though IN works better for me.

When I take selank intranasally, the effects come on in minutes and stick around for roughly 1-2 hours....I have a semax/selank blend that I pin in the morning....then a plain selank at night....every one of them registers with me. Selank works well enough for me that I've got it on my active hunt list.... 👍
