Tried both, got mild effects, looking for what else is out there.

If semax/selank at appropriate doses only got you mild effects, more exotic options probably won't blow you away either. Cerebrolysin is the obvious "deeper" option but it's 10 days IM daily and subjectively much more intense. Not for casual use.

Also worth looking outside peptides โ€” if you've only tried nootropics-adjacent stuff, things like L-theanine, apigenin, or non-peptide interventions (SSRIs, therapy, meditation) move anxiety more reliably than the nootropic class does. I say this as someone who has spent money on both.

Fair. I'll stick with selank and look at lifestyle stuff.

Cerebrolysin is a commitment. Worth it for some, excessive for others. Don't run it as your first exotic.

honestly most people chase peptides for anxiety when the real answer is just boring shit like sleep, exercise, and not being stressed all the time. i've been through the whole stack, cerebrolysin included, and none of it comes close to what consistency in the basics does. if semax and selank only got you mild effects you're probably looking for a magic bullet that doesn't exist in this category.
