The neurologist has appointed or nominated to my child as the dream has worsened, the child became restless and uncontrollable, constantly hysteria and even stammered on top of an attack. Prescribing the medicine the doctor said that this is a good nootropic, which will help get rid of anxiety and sleep and normalize and stutter help. We took a quarter tablet at night. At first, everything was really good - problems were gone, sleep normalized. But the child became frightened on these medicines, a little bit at once in crying, plus the mood changes right before our eyes, then he smiles, then roars sobbing.Have addressed to the expert - we will change a medicine while we are surveyed.

For all indications, the drug Phenibut is very good, it normalizes sleep and improves memory, attention. But taking it full course could not because of the emerging rash and severe itching. I think that this nootropic remedy just did not fit me, and so it deserves respect. Heard about the drug only positively.

loveThe validity of the refusal of serious medications should be taken by your doctor. Sometimes there are situations when the refusal of the drug is impossible, because of its uniqueness, so there is nothing to replace. Then you have to choose between - to suffer non-harmful side effects and harm to the patient's health. So consult a doctor who appointed you Phenibut.

Question:
Indications for the use of Phenibut are, in particular, anxiety and obsessive conditions. Side effects include increased irritability and anxiety. It turns out that taking the drug can worsen the symptoms, because of which he was appointed? Unclear...
It's about treating a very old person, I would not want to risk it.
In advance thanks for the answer.

mila-letterSometimes it happens. Allergy medications in side effects are allergic reactions, drugs for reducing blood pressure - increasing pressure, so Fenibut had such a plan pobochka found. The doctor in charge decides whether or not to take the decision, and the side effects are indicated so that the patient is ready and understands that the deterioration or appearance of new symptoms is associated with taking the medication, and not just for that matter.

I fall asleep everywhere where there is a fulcrum. And instantly. When will the effect of this drug stop after the last reception? Need to work. The doctor advised him after I got stuck with alcohol.

Konstantin, Usually, once the drug is completely removed from the body. For Fenibut it is about 12-20 hours. But if you take it constantly, then drowsiness will persist. And if this effect causes serious problems with work - it is necessary to see a doctor for adjusting the dosage or changing the drug to another.

I take Phenibutum during the last year with interruptions of 2 tablets a day and only a certain manufacturer. Very satisfied with the effect - normalizes sleep, really removes anxiety, raises vitality. There are no special health problems, but by nature I'm a bustling person, with a constant sense of unreasonable anxiety, woke up at night and could not sleep for a long time. And with the Phenibut psycho-emotional state is very good. When I do a month's break, I can not wait to see how it ends. I would like to know whether the long-term administration of Phenibutum causes significant harm to the body? In particular, if there are nodes on the thyroid gland. I am 57 years old. Thank you.
Administrators

svetik1958In addition to getting used to the drug, which you also note in yourself, I can not mark other significant consequences of prolonged use of the drug Fenibut. If you follow the recommendations of the attending physician on the rhythm of reception and dosage, then there should be no negative side effects and long-term consequences.

Nodes on the thyroid gland can not harm the reception of the drug,but schitovidku for violations in the psychotic sphere must be checked, so that there is not such that the whole problem is not in psychology and the head, but in the thyroid gland.

Is it possible to take Phenibutum during the withdrawal of Phenazepam - started a gradual decrease in the dose of Phenazepam?
Administrators
admin
TatyanaYou can use both drugs together. At a decreasing dosage of phenazepam, negative side effects from joint administration with Phenibutum are unlikely to occur. Perhaps the mutual potentiation (enhancement) of the tranquilizing effect of two drugs, but this is more with therapeutic, and not decreasing as in your case, the doses of one of the drugs.

Against the backdrop of HRT, sharp mood swings, mostly crying or yelling. Irritability, anger, apathy. In addition to sleep, you do not want anything, a constant feeling of nervousness, so that it does not happen. In the morning you do not have time to get up, but as if you already have to jump without a parachute. Have written out the Phenibut. In addition, it became even more sleep - nothing.Panic attacks are also present, but I do not know what to take. I also sleep from phenazepam. I do not want anything.

I was drinking for 10 days. The dream was gone. I went to a psychiatric hospital, and they say they just go to bed - from 3 to 5 days. Until 10 pm I drank another bottle of vodka. After 2 hours I drank 2 pills of phenibut and slept until seven in the morning with white nightmares. The state is sleepy, but there is no irritability and fear.

The visitor question of the Directory katena_r86 moved to the required section:
Hello! To the child of 6 years. Hyperdynamic syndrome with attention deficit-it is difficult to concentrate, sometimes it reacts to questions only from the second time and memory is not very. We were prescribed pantocalcin, 2 months later, and cortexin in April. But about the Phenibut they write that it can be addictive, is it possible to pass this course, excluding the Phenibut, and do not addictive cortexin and pantocalcin? Thank you.
katena_r86, To exclude or add drugs to the prenatal care regimen of the attending physician, especially if it concerns children, so I'm not likely to help you here.Fenibut can be addictive, but this is with a long reception and from the question I can not understand how long the course of taking this drug to your child was appointed by a specialist. If 2-3 months, it is not long in relation to this medicine and addiction should not arise. The administration of Cortexin and Pantokaltsin also does not lead to the development of abnormal reactions of withdrawal at the end of admission.

Not so long ago I was hospitalized in the ambulance because of the incessant dizziness, I was prescribed a Phenibut. In the annotation of this medication, a side effect of dizziness is written, how can it be: prescribed for dizziness. I'm scared to drink this medicine, what should I do?
Administrators

Rimma, It happens when the indications and side effects occur in the instructions to one drug. Phenibut is also a remedy for dizziness and can cause dizziness as a side effect of the use of medication, which can occur in a small number of patients.

In the first 2-3 days from the beginning of taking Phenibutum, I had a slight dizziness. In one of the instructions I found that this is possible, because these tablets normalize the blood circulation of the brain.
Very good drug, low toxicity. BUT - take it better after eating, because. can irritate the stomach. And choose the right manufacturer.
I take Phenibut for more than 3 weeks on a tablet three times a day. The neurologist has written out to drink month. I carry well without dizziness, sleeplessness and others, there are only problems with the intestines, but I want to "come" to myself sooner, so I'll suffer. The drug is good, I bought different manufacturers and the difference was not noticeable. I only have a question for specialists.How to finish taking, is it worth to lower the dosage? The doctor did not say anything about it.

elena leonardovna, With a short course of admission (1 month is within these deadlines), you can cancel the reception of Fenibut at the same time. An expressed withdrawal syndrome should not be observed.

To finish the course of treatment with Phenibutum, you need a gradual decrease in dosage.
Administrators

Svetlana SumarokovaLet me disagree. With a short-term course of therapy, the effect of one-step cancellation will not be noticeable to the patient. Addiction to Phenibutum is not noted, and all negative phenomena after cancellation are associated with reactivation of the disease or negative psychological attitudes.
