Selank
In people
People describe Selank as the volume on worry turning down within 10 to 20 minutes of a dose, while thinking stays sharp. Racing thoughts slow, the chest loosens and sleep comes easier at night. Unlike tranquilisers there is no fog, no slowed reaction and no pull to keep taking more. In anxiety and nervous exhaustion, tension, irritability and fatigue all fall over two weeks, with the same strength of calm as phenazepam and far less drowsiness.
