Hello,
You took Etifoxine 100 mg for only 10 days. At this short duration, tapering is usually not necessary, and you have not caused any permanent harm by stopping it suddenly.
Etifoxine does not cause dangerous withdrawal like benzodiazepines. What you are experiencing now is most likely anxiety-driven fear and overthinking, not true withdrawal. At most, some people may feel temporary anxiety, restlessness, or uneasiness, which settles on its own.
Next Steps
- No need to restart Toficalm or taper unless symptoms are severe
- Avoid Googling withdrawal stories (it worsens anxiety)
- Use non-medicine strategies: sleep routine, breathing exercises, CBT if needed
- If anxiety persists beyond 1–2 weeks, consult a psychiatrist for guidance
