I often use a sedative Glycine in my narcological practice. When the alcoholic is withdrawn from the drinking state and withdrawal of the withdrawal syndrome, his mental and physical state is subjected to great stress.
This drug helps the patient to easily transfer the procedure, relieves him from a sense of anxiety and improves brain activity. Gradually, the patient normalizes the psychoemotional state and the desire to drink disappears. As part of complex therapy, this medicine is simply irreplaceable.

After several days of taking Glicin, all these symptoms are removed by hand. You feel calm and confident, the thought process improves, and the exams always give in to cheers!
