What are the most common mistakes with Semax?
The most common Semax mistakes are treating it like a stimulant (it's gentler); running it continuously without breaks; storing nasal spray at room temp long term. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for Semax is limited.
