sodes of fear, worry, nervousness, sweating and rapid heartbeat. At the same time, panic attacks are caused due to overstimulation of the nerve cells in the brain.

This medicine works by balancing the chemical substance Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which slows down brain activity and produces a feeling of relaxation, calmness and induces sleep.
