Can semax cause anxiety?

This site's Semax studies do not report anxiety as a counted side effect. The finding in people is a series of 110 stroke patients, where everyone knew what they were getting. Semax courses raised BDNF (a protein that helps brain cells grow) in the blood and went along with faster recovery on a daily-living score (the Barthel index). There was no dummy-treatment group, and it was not a count of what causes anxiety. The animal studies measured BDNF in the brains of rats. Selank, a different peptide, is the one studied for anxiety. This FAQ does not invent an anxiety rate from Semax silence, and it does not move Selank's anxiety study onto Semax. Full record at /compounds/semax.
