Has anyone ever taken this drug? It's a French anti-anxiety drug which appears to work via GABA(A) receptors albeit in a different way to benzodiazepines.

Sounds a bit like muscimol, one of the active ingredients in Amanita Muscarina/Pantherina mushrooms.

I Live in France but I was born and grew up in the UK.
To be honest the reason I found your question is because I search the word Etifoxine on Google and your post came up.
But the first 24 hours have been fine Ed, I did start the previous day in a big mess so I think a placebo, a cup tea and a few quite minutes would have helped me.
I feel calm, not drowsy and not euphoric or lightheaded.
They seem to be the most frequently prescribed medicine for Stress and anxiety in France at the moment.

Hi,
I have had a really tough day, tough few weeks. At one meeting i lost it inside with anxiety regarding a project i'm running and contributing to. I usually have the tools within to deal with feelings like this, but i guess i was just too tired and overworked and exposed. I'm 23 and i'm looking after the second biggest system in our company. With about 800 000 requests in 1 hour its very big. well, i hated the feeling surging through me in the meeting, i felt bare. I imagined walking back to my desk, slamming close my laptop and just taking off. I've also had some trouble sleeping of late. I jumped on my phone after the meeting and called my doctor, she didnt call back for 3 hours after and i kinda put the anxiety one side, it didnt go away, i was very aware of how i felt, but i kept my cool and carried on working with a smile, a fake one at that. When my doctor called i just stopped outside her office. We had a good chat, about all of it, work, the untamable complexities, the STRESS. I'm not sure if i overreacted, i'm generally happy, but i wanted something, a quick fix to this type of feeling. She prescribed Stresam 50mg (2 a day), i elected to take 30 instead of 60 just in case they dont work out. Its been 2 hours since I’ve taken the first one and it feels ok, no Euphoria, but i feel more relaxed. Perhaps i was hoping for some euphoria. i have a few skin crawls but that it, and a slightly 'thicker' movement scope.
Well, i'll take them through tomorrow and see...
Will check in then :)
