Stresam (etifoxine)

[Falcodj]

I am currently suffering from a lot of anxiety due to my father's health situation. I am 26 and i live alone with him as my mum passed away 3 years ago. My doctor prescribed stresam (etifoxine). It has anti anxiety properties but does not have withdrawals etc like benzos. I tried to search on the net for more detailed imformation , but it seems that this is not a widely known med.

Anyone used this medicine? Can you share your experience ?


I am new to this forum btw

From what I read it's at least as effective for anxiety as ativan..........which is pretty effective. Alankay
