Afobazol - derivative of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, a selective anxiolytic, not belonging to the class of benzodiazepine receptor agonists. Prevents the development of membrane-dependent changes in the GABA receptor.

The drug lacks muscle relaxant properties, a negative effect on memory and attention. When using the drug, drug dependence is not formed and withdrawal syndrome does not develop.

 

The effect of the drug is realized primarily as a combination of anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and easily stimulating (activating) effects. Reduction or elimination of anxiety (concern, bad forebodings, fears, irritability), tension (fearfulness, tearfulness, anxiety, inability to relax,insomnia, fear), and therefore somatic (muscle, sensory, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal symptoms), vegetative (dry mouth, sweating, dizziness), cognitive (difficulty concentrating, weakened memory) disorders observed on days 5-7 of Afobazol treatment. The maximum effect is achieved by the end of 4 weeks of treatment and remains in the post-therapy period on average 1-2 weeks.

indigoStill, I would not advise taking medicine without a doctor's recommendation. An exception can be made for some activated carbon and a couple of simple drugs.

Tried to take afobazol last fall, when there was a low and anxious condition. On TV, there was a constant advertising of this drug, that it quickly removes fears and stress. But in my case, the drug did not show, there were no side effects, but also positive results from the treatment, too.

Very effective drug - relief was felt on the second day. Novopassit is just a kindergarten against afobazol.

After treatment of the inflammation of the lungs, a dysbacteriosis has developed and, as a result, depression. Afobazol took courses throughout the year. He helped me. Antidepressants certainly help faster, but a lot of pobochek ...

Afobazol took on the appointment of a doctor-endocrinologist in the treatment of increased thyroid function and its nodes (there was a fairly serious permanent stress background). Very well helped in my case, in combination with treatment with drugs for thyroid.

Full bullshit, and all the reviews, which are positive - bought. Twice the doctor tried to put this pacifier in my mouth, only it became worse. As a result, I now sit on normal antidepressants, and to whom afobazol helps, those and so problems would resolve themselves in a couple of days.

I took afobazol on the appointment of an endocrinologist. Prior to this, 2 years I periodically in a fever threw, then froze.After 3 weeks of reception I forgot what it is. It's been 2 years already. Symptoms of the IRR were no longer repeated.

Very much helped in the period after parting with a young man. Many, I'm sure, faced this when it comes to the sensation that a piece has been torn out of you and the whole joy of life is disappearing somewhere. It covers the emptiness and grayness of life. That's in such a state and until the depression is near. And from there it's difficult to get out. Fortunately, my mother did not close her eyes to all this and brought me these pills. Controlled every my reception so that there were no passes. And, after a week, I first felt that I was slowly starting to let go. After 1.5 months, I felt quite normal, returned to my previous activities, my friends, and started to enjoy life again. So the drug definitely saved me from that inevitably addictive spleen.

She took Afobazol during panic attacks. Completely the problem he does not solve (besides restful it is required also work on a way of life as a whole, sometimes consultation of the psychologist is necessary), but helps to avoid attacks. The most acute period I had in the summer. Heat, stuffiness, a lot of people - immediately began a panic attack, often reached fainting. With afobazole, I successfully avoided such situations. After passing the entire course of treatment, the PA problem does not bother me anymore, but I still resort to afobazole when I feel that the nerves are already at their limit in order to avoid relapses.

She took Afobazol 2 years ago, when she lost her job. I really helped, felt from the second pill. Even one convolute was not finished, it was enough for that moment. Now I looked again in his direction and the second day I drink. There is an effect. An inexplicable state - as if in life there is hope. Very soft, like and there are no obvious signs of impact, but this is probably the best praise for a drug of this kind. Acts and does not torture, helps and does not interfere with life. There is no hypnotic side effect. Thank you for creating a good medicine.

There are sometimes panic attacks. They recommended Afobazol without a doctor's appointment, friends. Now I'll try and see what happens next. Like praise, but I think every person he individually fits.
