Niravam Reviews
For Anxiety "I have suffered from anxiety and panic disorders for all of my adult life. When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my level of anxiety was at an all-time high because it also caused severe bone pain. My pain management doctor had some samples of Niravam. The first week I tried it, my life was changed in a huge way. It goes to work so quickly, is most effective, and the half-life of this medicine seems short, so you aren't being 'over-medicated.' I've suggested it to others with the same disorder, but sadly, most doctors have never heard of it. I appreciate a safe, effective medication and just wish that more doctors were aware that it's more effective and has no or very few side effects, so they can benefit more patients."
For Panic Disorder "I suffer from combat-related PTSD, depression, and panic attacks. Have been taking Ativan for several years with Wellbutrin SR. I still take the Ativan to control the anxiety, but since my doctor added Niravam, it seems as soon as it dissolves on my tongue, I can feel almost immediate relief, and it stops the panic attack in no time at all. It's truly a miracle medication."
For Anxiety "This medicine is great. I instantly start feeling calm from head to toe. I like the fact that I don't have to wait 30 minutes or so for it to kick in. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to have a daily life. I also like that I can take it and still function at work."
For Depression "I have taken this for a chronic stuttering problem. It has lessened my anxiety, anxiousness, and depressive moods in speech situations, as well as daily stress. Due to being fast-acting, it has been my experience that this is the better of the many antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. I have not found it addictive and have had no side effects."
For Anxiety "I was prescribed this by my doctor as a fast-acting release from anxiety attacks. It helped me come off all medications for my anxiety disorder, now I only take Niravam when I'm having a bad anxiety attack, which is now very rare!"
For Anxiety "I have been taking Niravam for over 2 years now. This is by far the most efective treatment for anxiety/ panic attacks that I have tried. However, I am also on Lexapro, Effexor, and Cymbalta which also help combat anxiety by adjusting neurotransmiters in order to decrease the frequency of attacks. Deffinately a great med for those who truly need it!"
For Anxiety "I have a disorder called RSD/CRPS one of the things this has affected is my hearing and sensitivity to movement so when I have to get in a large crowd or noisy environment like an airport I can take one of these and it dramatically helps since I never know when I will be in a situation like that. It is nice to be able to take a quick acting medicine to help. It does a great job"
For Panic Disorder "This is definitely the best route to take compared to Xanax. Being able to stop an anxiety attack if it occurs is preferable to taking a regular release Xanax. The oral disintegrating tablets offered me the opportunity to be able to control when I needed it and not deal with the effects of regular release of Xanax. But is no longer available ."
For Anxiety "This is the only medication that makes me able to focus and stop obsessing on things I can't control and makes me able to be productive and active."
For Anxiety "Calms you down instantly."
For Anxiety "A must for anyone with panic attacks. Works fast, gives you your life back."
For Anxiety "Very good medication for panic attacks and severe anxiety. Works fast."
For Anxiety "I have tried it all; this works so wonderfully. I have my life back."
