I am new to Longecity so please let me know if this isn't the right place to post this. Yesterday I received Dihexa solution from NootropicsSource. I wish to start a discussion on dosing this compound.
My background: 18yo male, moving to start university soon. Abused amphetamines and RC stimulants on and off for the past 2 years. Been off them for the most part since June/July thanks to a largish nootropic stack, particularly thanks to Adamax (N-acetyl semax that has been capped on the C-terminus with the adamantane moiety from P21 [sequence Ac-MEHFPGP-AG-Nh2], created by Ceretropic and no longer sold since they closed). Nootropics that increase neurogenesis have had the most positive effect on me out of everything I've tried. I'm diagnosed with ADHD and depression, but since I've started Adamax, cardio, and working out, my depression has subsided for the most part. My diet is relatively healthy (excludes dairy products, processed sugars, and meat with the exception of fish).
What's interestingly relevant is I have the eye condition strabismus, and I had double vision and had no depth perception for 2+ years (don't remember when it actually started) until I had eye muscle surgery for it previous summer. Before the surgery, my brain had learned to ignore the left eye's vision for the most part so I can focus on details with my right eye. Because of this, my left eye is substantially underdeveloped, and if I close my right eye my left eye's visual field is covered in pronounced black patches and visual snow to the point it becomes seriously difficult to read. I believe my depth perception has partly recovered, but not entirely. I am interested to see if Dihexa can help improve and restore my left eye's vision, though this is not my primary goal in taking this compound.

My Dihexa solution contains polyethylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, and distilled H2O, so, unfortunately, I cannot go about transdermal administration through DMSO. Yesterday afternoon I took my first dose of 15mg sublingually / orally (held the solution for 5 minutes under my tongue, then swallowed it because the taste was awful. Is 5 minutes enough?). I do not notice anything pronounced as of yet, though my dreams last night were distinctly vivid and detailed and I slept better and longer than usual.
Has anybody had experience dosing Dihexa, and what dosing regime did you go about? Afaik it's best to administer daily for 5 days, and then once a week due to its long halflife. My current plan is to take 15mg daily for 5 days, and then switch to 20mg once per week. I've read other reports of 30mg oral doses, but because of its potency, I'm thinking my planned regime is ok. I have also stocked up on NSI-189 and P21 for when I'm at uni, but I've never tried these compounds before and I'm assuming it's best to try out Dihexa alone first. All discussion on this compound and neurogenesis welcome here, I value any input and information others may have to share .
