MY PET MONKEY’S EXPERIENCE WITH SEMAX

So I have a pet monkey. His name is Jonathan Giuseppe Rigatoni, but I call him Johnny. Unfortunately, he has social anxiety, so none of you will ever meet him. He also goes into an uncontrollable rage when I try to take pictures of him, however, because I love you guys so much, I did manage to sneak one picture of him which you will find below. I’m the best, I know. Because I am such a compassionate and loving monkey owner, I wanted to help him with his social anxiety disorder by providing him with a safe and effective supplemental cure that most of you probably do not know too much about. In fact, after this post, some of you may want to consider using this cure for your pet monkeys that are inflicted with mental health issues. The solution that I decided to try is a compound called Semax. **Disclaimer: I do not advocate the use of any substance without thorough research and consultation with a medical professional. Additionally, Semax is a research chemical in America and is made for research purposes only. They are not made for human consumption, so I do not advocate that any of my fabulous readers use Semax.

Johnny would like to share his experience with you. But before getting into Johnny’s experience with Semax, I would like to provide you all with some background information on the compound for all of you interested in the scientific mumbo jumbo. Semax is a nootropic that is administered as a nasal spray or subcutaneously with an injection developed by Soviet researchers in 1982. It’s a heptapeptide nootropic that researchers were developing to treat stroke victims with. This compound is very similar but MUCH more potent than another more commonly used nootropic, noopept. Like Noopept, Semax stimulates the central nervous system, increasing memory, focus, physical performance, and analytical skills. Across Russia, Semax is classified as a “Vital and Essential” drug, and it is commonly prescribed across the nation, especially when physicians are dealing with conditions that require neuroprotective or neurorestorative effects. Semax modulates receptors in the Limbic Reticular complex in your brain, which is the system in your brain responsible for emotional experience. It specifically targets the receptors that handle serotonin, adenosine, histamine, dopamine, and acetylcholine.

At the same time, Semax activates NMDA receptors for glutamate in your central and peripheral nervous systems. Furthermore, Semax also boosts neuroprotection significantly, which means your neurotransmitters degrade less frequently. To boost neuroprotection, Semax increases synthesis of neurotrophins, proteins, and biosubstrates. This protects and repairs active neurons and reduces inflammation throughout the nervous system and brain. So what the heck does that mean for my monkey?
           - Increased Memory
           - Better Learning Ability
           - Increased Reasoning
           - Improved Perception and Concentration
           - Better Immune System Functionality
           - Higher Cognitive Energy Levels 

some Russians (and monkeys) also report feeling a better mood while taking Semax – likely due to its effects on your dopamine receptors. Ok, Johnny is getting impatient, he wants to share his marvelous experiences.

Johnny’s Experience:  
4:30 – 5:00 PM: Reconstitution – Johnny, although a monkey is very bright due to his excessive use of nootropics and is able to reconstitute this solution on his own. Johnny is opting to use a subcutaneous injection because it is the fastest method of absorption into the body and mucus does not prevent some of it from absorbing. In the case of a nasal spray, this is very likely so the effectiveness of a supposedly equivalent dosage is less. On top of that, the negative effects on the nasal cavity is not something my monkey wanted to deal with. Johnny takes his 30 mg vial of Semax, which comes in a white powder and adds 3 ml of bacteriostatic water.
5:00 – 5:05 PM: Administration
(Contact me if you have any questions about reconstitution or administration, I will speak with Johnny and answer any questions you may have) Using an insulin syringe, Johnny draws out 400 mcgs of Semax, pinches some skin off of his stomach, and excitedly administers the Semax.

5:05 – 5:30: Acute Effects
Approximately one minute after administration, a very slight but noticeable glow emerges. My monkey’s sensory perception is ever so slightly enhanced, particularly his visual perception. Colors are much sharper, shades of red are slightly redder, and everything in sight seems more saturated. Additionally, a very strange paradox occurs; Johnny attains a laser like focus from a visual perspective but is also more aware of his periphery. He considers whether this is a placebo or not, but due to his excessive experiences with nootropics, the excitement of novelty in trying them, and the resulted “convincing himself of something working phenomena” is very rare. However, this is subjective, so Johnny decides to test whether the effects are placebo or not. It is reported that the effectiveness of stimulants is potentiated while on Semax, so Johnny decides to go downstairs and make himself a strong cup of coffee. Indeed, after consuming the cup of coffee, Johnny is significantly more alert, energized, and verbally proficient much more so than if he were to drink the coffee alone. His thoughts are racing in anticipation of writing his next blog post, but instead of just feeling an “Adderall-like,” dopaminergic, “just got off a roller coaster,” or “murdered a high volume leg workout” sense of arousal, the sentences seemed to fluidly put themselves together in his head.

5:30 – 7:00 The Hour After
Johnny takes after me and he is a very passionate writer. He decides to make his way and get started writing his blog post. About 15 minutes into writing, he feels a little overstimulated, so decides to meditate to calm down a little. He does not describe this sensation as anxiety, but just a little too much energy to be objective or as cohesive as he wants to be. He believes that his reality is a manifestation of his thoughts and so just as his mind is overly fluid and not able to fragment itself, his resulted writing would come out this way. When Johnny closes his eyes and starts reciting his mantra, he transcends quicker than normal, but an hour later, finds himself waking up alarmingly, realizing he has dosed off. The baffling part of this hour is that he went into the meditation very alert, yet managed to doze off very quickly. What Johnny describes as even more surprising but pleasant is the fact that upon waking up, he felt the peaceful clarity that he normally experiences after a full meditation session. Additionally, Johnny is quickly able to immerse himself right back into his writing with an uninterrupted flow.

7:30 – 11:00 PM: Gym Time
Johnny, just like his owner is a personal trainer. If your monkey has fitness goals, Johnny will get your monkey there. Johnny also works with other animals and has experience with hamsters, fish, lions, gorillas, porcupines, beavers, squirrels, skunks, kangaroos, scorpions, and more! He heads to the gym around 7:20 PM and notices the effects of Semax slightly wearing off, but his enhanced sensory perception, improved verbal fluency, and overstimulation remains. This actually remains all the way until bedtime.
Johnny recounts how alert and engrossed into the sessions he was. His energy is high, he is able to think of the right things to say at the right time, but he is also a little bit less filtered than normal. His judgement is not altered, but he is just simply less inhibited which is actually what many Semax users report; less inhibitions, and consequently less social anxiety. Unfortunately, because his mind is working a little quicker than normal, compounded by the fact that his clients are tired, he finds himself on edge in his interactions as his clients take time to communicate with him. His irritability has him finishing sentences for his clients which he knows is rude and hates doing. Fortunately, he is contemplative enough to recognize that he is doing this and is able to change his behavior.
From 10 PM – 11 PM after he has finished training his clients, Johnny decides to take half a scoop of pre-workout, Enraged Xtreme by Innovapharm (go to www.motivationalmuscle.com to read what Andrew Black has to say about it. If interesting in purchasing it, please message me). Now normally Johnny takes a whole scoop, but mindful of the fact that he is on Semax, a stimulant potentiating nootropic, he wisely refrains from doing so this time around. Johnny reports that the onset of the pre-workout’s effects are quicker than normal, he feels very energized, and not only hits a very intense workout, but is able to make a sharper neurological connection to the muscle which is very important for his bodybuilding style training. Overall, he enjoyed his experience in the gym supplementing with Semax.

11:15 – 1:00 AM: The Final Hour and 45 minutes
Johnny returns home, eats his post-workout meal, still feeling the effects of the Semax, goes upstairs, cleans his room, talks to his girlfriend, sets up shop for the next day, and reads for a bit. He has no issues going to bed.

Final Comments:
Overall, Johnny rates this nootropic an 8.5 out of 10. The overstimulation could make some monkeys very anxious, and the irritability and restlessness was not something he was totally fond of. However, the energy, verbal proficiency, heightened sensory perception, and lack of inhibitions could be good for treating symptoms of ADD, help with writing, provide a better experience in the gym, generate inclinations towards music and creative tasks, and prevent social anxiety. Monkeys, if you are not cool with subcutaneous injections, nasal administration is the way to go. Johnny recommends this nootropic to more experienced users after he or she carries out his or her own research.

Happy brain hacking people :) (monkeys)
