      Frequently Asked Questions

      Is selank better than benzodiazepines for anxiety?

      Selank is not as potent as benzodiazepines for acute anxiety. However, it has significant advantages: no sedation, no dependence, no withdrawal, and cognitive-enhancing rather than cognitive-impairing effects. It is better suited for chronic anxiety management than acute panic.

      How quickly does selank work?

      Intranasal selank typically produces anxiolytic effects within 30-60 minutes. Effects last 4-8 hours. Consistent daily use over 2-4 weeks appears to produce cumulative benefits.

      Can selank be combined with SSRIs?

      Potential interactions between selank and SSRIs are not well studied. Consult a physician before combining selank with any psychiatric medications.
