Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used the drug Stresam:

Marina. A good preparation of cumulative effect (not an ambulance), removes anxiety, but not immediately, there is no addiction, you can drink for a long time. For neglected cases.
Alla. I'm 72.. In life there were so many experiences. Now everything is fine, but past experiences are crushed like a stone. For the last 7 months she suffered from arrhythmia (heart rate misses). She is a bedridden patient. It was treated at cardiologists, has replaced 4 doctors. The psychotherapist has appointed or nominated to drink in the afternoon 2 times "Strezam", for the night 1/2 atarax. With a view of economy and fear of superfluous chemistry has decided to drink only atarax for the night. Improvements did not notice. When it became very bad, there was no choice left-either life or the liver. Chose life. After the first tablet the omissions ceased. Now I'm afraid to stop drinking. I go without stops, I work at the dacha. I would drink all my life, but you can not. I'm afraid of the day when the course ends. Be all well, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Maksim. This tranquilizer drank after a heavy divorce, there were insomnia, could not calm down, tremor of hands, panic attacks. Better became days through ten after the beginning of reception, drank on two tablets twice a day. The first time I had to give up driving (according to the doctor's advice), was a little sluggish, I wanted to sleep more than usual. In two weeks everything was normal. He is pleased with the treatment.
