Patient feedback

Patients' feedback about Donormil tablets are :

1. When Donomil( I was 72 years old and I used other sleeping pills earlier), I doubted his action, referring to the fact that a young specialist is promoting a drug. But after reception, already on 3 day my dream was normalized. I did not wake up in the middle of the night. The only thing, after an unplanned waking up( noise from outside), I could not sleep for a long time »( Valentina).
2. "At about 16 I began to use alcohol systematically. From the age of 20 I began to drink daily, at least 0.5 liters of vodka per day. At the same time, though irregularly, I started smoking marijuana. In general, by the age of 27, I turned into a complete alcoholic and drug addict, as I learned to independently allocate methamphetamine-pervitin from free drugs and use it intravenously. I do not know how, but under the pressure of personal life circumstances I decided to give up all kinds of doping. Immediately, after the abolition of drugs and alcohol intake, I began to have severe sleep and mood disorders, not to mention digestion and appetite. A friend of the narcologist advised me to take Donormil, saying that in my case this is an optimal sedative with a minimum of side effects and harm to the body. Already in the first days of Donormil's reception, my sleep and appetite began to normalize. After two weeks of admission, I generally forgot about abstinence. Now I'm 30 years old, my health and sleep have normalized, which I owe in many respects to Dr Donmil "( Petr, Belgorod).
