Compound
Novopassita
more difficult than
Persena
, it contains plant extracts of valerian, lemon balm, mint, hawthorn, passionflower, elderberry, as well as a light anxiolytic - guaifenesin.
Therefore, the list of indications for its use is wider than that of Persen. Novo-passit is prescribed in the complex treatment of anxiety conditions, neurasthenia, irritable bowel syndrome, and neurocirculatory dystonia.
Medicines differ in the main active ingredient; if Persen is a complex of natural plant substances, then Afobazol is a synthetic drug containing a chemical compound - fabomotizol.
Therefore, Persen belongs to the group of sedatives of plant origin, and Afobazol belongs to anxiolytics - substances that improve nervous regulation of the processes of excitation and inhibition.
On practice
Persen
has proven itself well as a means of combating neuropsychic disorders that occur when the nervous system is overstrained, and
Afobazole
has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of emotional disorders that appear against the background of somatic diseases and chronic neuroses.
When choosing Afobazole or Persen as a sedative, it is necessary, first of all, to focus on the nature of the disease and patient tolerance of the drugs. Some people benefit better from a natural combination of herbs, others from an anxiolytic drug.
In any case, you should consult your doctor before starting therapy.
When prescribing sedatives, doctors also focus on the patients’ life circumstances; Persen and Novo-Passit are not recommended for long-term treatment for people whose activities involve increased concentration (driving, scientific research, etc.). In such cases, Afobazole or Tenoten are more suitable for the treatment of nervous disorders.
Also, only anxiolytics help reduce nervous tension when fighting alcoholism, drug addiction and smoking, since, unlike sedative herbal preparations, they do not increase the effects of alcohol, nicotine and drugs on the body.
Available without a prescription.
Approximate prices for Persen: 20 tablets – 211–277 rubles, 40 tablets – 339–455 rubles, 60 tablets – 430–540 rubles.

Reviews from doctors
Valery (therapist), 43 years old, Moscow
The sedatives Novopassit and Persen, which have natural ingredients in their composition, are practically safe for health. They effectively reduce the excitability of the nervous system and eliminate spasms in muscles and organs.

Patient reviews of Novopassit and Persen
Larisa, 46 years old, Saransk
Novopassit is in the medicine cabinets of many of my friends and relatives. The product is natural and helps well with stressful situations and sleep problems. It has a gentle effect on the body, but the effect of taking it is short-lived.
Some friends note that the drug is rather weak, so you should not count on it if you have severe neuroses and disorders of the nervous system.
Kristina, 29 years old, Perm
I used the medicine for vegetative-vascular dystonia. For a long period of time she suffered from increased weakness and headaches. I was always afraid to use strong medications, so I refused the recommended treatment.
A friend advised me to try a course of treatment with Novopassit. She herself has been taking a nerve calmer for a long time and says that it works.
I drank the medicinal syrup for a month, and the result was surprising. The condition has improved, and some symptoms have gone away completely. The product is good and the price is low.
Roman, 32 years old, Krasnodar
A few months ago I began to get very irritated, nervous, and my hands began to tremble. Previously, I fell asleep instantly, but when my condition worsened, I began to have difficulty falling asleep and tossed and turned in bed for a long time. I woke up many times during the night.
The doctor recommended Persen. I doubted its effectiveness, but still tried it. My sleep returned to normal and I began to feel calmer. The drug helps with nerve problems.
Valeria, 38 years old, Ufa
I can’t classify myself as a calm person. I often fall into depression and despondency, accompanied by increased anxiety and irritability. I try to use sedative medications that are less harmful to the body. Previously, I carried out courses of treatment with glycine on the advice of a doctor, but over time it stopped helping. I switched to Novopassit.
The drug has a stronger effect on the body. The effect is felt almost instantly. After drug therapy, positive changes in the state of the nervous system are observed. The product is very calming and improves sleep.
Instructions for use and special instructions
It is important to use the drug correctly. The instructions for use inform you about how it should be taken.
Different types of medicine have their own characteristics in the method of administration and dosage regimen.

Application in pediatric practice
Many parents are interested in whether Persen can be used for children? Yes it is possible. It can be prescribed as a sedative for various neurotic disorders, after suffering stress, mental or emotional shock.
The dosage is determined by the attending physician. It depends on the age and body weight of the child. As a rule, children over 3 years of age are advised to take 1 tablet 1-3 times a day. The dosage regimen for adolescents is no different from that for adults.
Reviews after use
Persen tried it after a strong emotional breakdown at work - the student behaved inappropriately and provoked a conflict. Endless disputes with my parents and superiors exhausted my nervous system, I became withdrawn and irritable, and in my profession this is unacceptable.
Based on reviews on the Internet, I chose Persen because of its natural composition. I took it according to the regimen 2 times a day. I began to recover in the second week of treatment, to react more calmly to stressful situations, criticism from others, and bad circumstances.
I had no adverse reactions, I tolerated the drug well, my performance and activity were completely preserved.
Persen helped get rid of obsession and irritability. The doctor prescribed me to drink it for a month, three times a day, one tablet. After a couple of weeks, I felt better, was able to communicate with loved ones, read, and became interested in fitness. A feeling of happiness returned to my life, and former anxious thoughts began to “visit” less and less often.
Persen turned out to be an effective medicine; the only disadvantage I would like to emphasize is its high cost. The advantages are safety, naturalness, mild action.

Safe treatment of stress-related disorders in the practice of psychiatrists and psychologists
With the start of everyday work, we fall into a state in which it seems like it’s too early to see a psychiatrist, but we also need to do something about ourselves. Whether to cry into someone's vest, or to play sports, or to drink alcohol is already ruled out! As for the first two points, it won't hurt. But when it comes to taking medications, you should be careful with this matter. After the New Year holidays, the state of depression is familiar to almost every second person. And it’s not just that we lack light and vitamins, but that fatigue has accumulated. Valerian is perhaps the most famous sedative. The advice is not very correct, because at this point a single dose of valerian will not help.

Experience with the use of the drug Persen for subthreshold anxiety spectrum disorders in adolescents
How does the popular sedative Afobazole work, has its effectiveness been studied and in what areas is it taken? Studying the effects of drugs on the psyche can be difficult, especially if you want to find a cure for irritability and anxiety. In Russia, where registering a drug is much easier than in the US, UK or EU, this creates a danger: a whole series of drugs with questionable effectiveness may appear. Let's see if Afobazole is one of them, or whether its effect has been proven by science.
