On the third day of reception, my condition improved, I began to sleep normally, bad thoughts and obsessions with bad content left me. The drug, in my opinion, is excellent.
2. Lyudmila. Very cool drug! I was prescribed a neurologist with a headache. For a long time I fought with them... and Kortekin pierced and ketonol pierced, plus milgamma. How many doctors have bypassed... For a short time, of course, small improvements were... Having drunk the course of noophene for 4 months, I have been living for 10 months without the exhausting, disturbing normal headache. It is transferred perfectly. And it improves the mood and improves memory!
3. Tanya. Once I went with my mom to a neurologist, because I felt that my nerves are not so strong anymore. We were advised by the best doctor in the city. He only knocked my mother and me on the knees with a special hammer, and immediately understood how to act. He attributed to me only a little valerian, but my mother advised to buy it Noofen. Mom, of course, immediately bought this drug and began to take it. To be honest, I did not believe that the effect would come so quickly! My mother became much healthier and it was noticeable at once. Therefore, I advise you not to save money on your health.
