Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series

I have a mutation which results in impaired BDNF and I do suffer from anxiety; so far buspirone seems to work, but I was considering SEMAX/SELANK for the BDNF increase, do you know anything about that?

I can tell you it'll make your hair fall out.

And maybe make you 20% less anxious/more focused, but honestly it's hard to say... actually, in retrospect I never experienced acute anxiety when I was experimenting with it. Certainly worth a shot.

Does the hair come back after you stop using it?

I already have moderate male pattern baldness :)

20% seems ok to me, buspirone is not that great either, but I never experienced panic attacks while on it(actually I only experienced panic attacks while on stimulants), and if I had another option like SELANK/SEMAX with the BDNF boosting bonus, that would be great.

I'll give them a shot.

I'm not sure but I think it's permanent. If you don't mind getting balder than you currently are, great.

Semax can make your hair fall out slightly selank doesn't . Ive heard good stories about both . Try them both out but start with semax . Do it long term .

Fasting can increase bdnf by 3.5 times . Research intermittent fasting and also long term fasting (48 hours) .

There is just so much that can increase bdnf but as a rule of thumb when it comes to herbs . Studies mostly are short term and just not as good .

I recommend coming over to the nootropics subreddit and research/ask there
