ok, so ive been reading about selank and im confused!!
ive never injected myself with anything so i dont know how the hell i use this lol
I read a review saying that the guy bought a 5mg bottle but then the reviewer said he took 2mg doses
How do i take a 2mg dose with an injection, do i measure it then leave whats left in the selank bottle ?

How do i inject myself properly with this ? I'll be buying it from here : http://www.topdotsho...rtField=EAN,EAN
On the site where im buying it from it says :
Add 1 ml of sterile diluent and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
I kind of know what this means. But not %100 i want to be %100 clear on what i have to do i dont want to inject myself the wrong way.

LOL! im totally clueless when it comes to injecting myself, so if somebody could guide me that would be great

Thanks!

Insulin syringe + bacteriostatic water + Selank

Draw out 5cc of bacteriostatic water with syringe. Bacteriostatic water is now in syringe.

Inject 5cc bacteriostatic water into Selank. Selank powder now mixes with sterile water.

Draw out 2cc of solution using insulin syringe. Look up how to subcutaneously inject if you need to.

Subcutaneously inject 2cc into body. Throw away syringe. Refrigerate remaining Selank.

Are we sure that Selank (and Semax, for that matter) can be injected this way since their intended route of administration is intranasal? Just want to make sure we aren't inviting in any weird health issues by doing this. I seem to recall a scary video of Russians injecting some kind of drug only to later find out it caused severe necrosis of tissue at the injection sites. I am no means saying that would happen here. Just want to be sure that it is safe to do this....!

The substance you are referring to is called Krokodil, and I believe the necrosis was due to the undissolved particles of crushed pills. I'm not sure, but I don't believe injecting Semax subcutaneously has those risks.

Actually, formergenius, while it could be Krokodil he's referring to, it could also very well be TIANEPTINE. Which is odd considering almost everyone here loves tianeptine. Realistically the story behind it though, is that people in Russia were grinding down tianeptine and dissolving it (or rather, attempting to dissolve it) in water and injecting it. Subsequently, people started experiencing necrosis in their extremeties due to accumulation of the fillers used in tianeptine, in areas of poor circulation (hands, feet, etc).

Krokodil's some f'd up stuff as well though.

So reconstituting peptides using bacteriostatic water and injecting it subcutaneously poses no risk?

Also you are correct, I had heard about both krokodil and tianeptine but it was the tianeptine I was thinking of when I posted.

[stillwater]

I did it the intranasal route a couple of years ago, did nothing for me other than, some headaches and increased anxiety. But as always with these things, that was just my experience.

You're correct, reconstituting peptides with bacteriostatic water and injecting poses no particular risk. At least, none further than the contamination risk already present. Always use sterile syringes & needles, and make sure to clean the site. Other than that, the actual process is perfectly safe. That said, why would you want to even try the subcutaneous route over the natural intranasal route?

Edit: I base my assessment of safety on past experiences with Bremelanotide. Didn't get any infection.

You get 100% absorption via the sub-Q route as opposed to the 60-70% absorption via the nasal mucosa, and it's a much better value. I bought 120mg from Ceretropic with 30ml of bacteriostatic water, which is essentially a 4 month supply if I decide to dose at 1mg per day (which is considered a large dose). I could even stretch it to 240 days if I wanted. The .1% spray bottle contains 50mcg per drop and the dosage is usually 2-3 drops. That means you are getting 100-150mcg/dose. The 1% bottle is 500mcg per drop. So that would be like getting 1-1.5mg/dose. At these doses, you are getting less and running out faster. This way I am getting about 4x more Semax, for $60 less and am getting better absorption to boot.

[Phoenicis]

did he died?

[dannee]

did he died?

 

Wondering that too

[PWAIN]

Given that his posts above were in Jan and his last visit was in Sept, I suspect he survived.

[Phoenicis]

I need answers - did the injected selank work at 100% efficacy? Was there any necrosis? For all we know he may have been working up to injecting the selank for 9 months. Why did Da Don want the Selank and how did this experience of injecting himself end up affecting the development of his mind and character? I guess we'll never know.

[Phoenicis]

Are you sure about that, even if Russians were indeed grinding tianeptine, but how do we know that they were not suffering due to hitting the gluteus minus instead of gluteus mediu, or using 23g needles?? Weren't there were also rumors that the necrosis might have been due to 'needle rollers' being used with methylene blue to treat vitiligo? Perhaps cracked scar tissue? But yeah the krokodil might have been a confounding factor, especially considering most of these guys had probably never injected themselves before... 

 

Scary stuff.
