Hi,
Toficalm 50 (Tofisopam) is a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic that is generally considered non-habit forming and has a low risk of dependence, unlike traditional benzodiazepines. It is often prescribed for anxiety, stress-related disorders, or mild depressive symptoms.
Discontinuing Tofisopam after short- or medium-term use typically does not lead to withdrawal symptoms, but stopping it suddenly after long-term use may lead to a mild return of symptoms (like anxiety or restlessness).
Next Steps
a. Consult your prescribing psychiatrist or physician before starting or stopping the medication.
b. If planning to discontinue after prolonged use, a gradual taper may still be preferred.
c. Evaluate whether continued use is needed based on symptom control and clinical benefit.

Health Tips
1. Avoid self-medicating or altering the dose without supervision.
2. If symptoms persist or worsen, reassessment for alternative treatments (psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or other medications) may be needed.
3. Do not combine Toficalm with alcohol or other sedatives.

Toficalm 50 (Tofisopam) is an anti anxiety medication that can be taken daily if prescribed by a psychiatrist. It has a lower risk of dependence compared to traditional benzodiazepines, but long term unsupervised use can still lead to mild habit formation. If stopped suddenly after regular use, some people may experience rebound anxiety or restlessness, so it’s best to discontinue it gradually under medical supervision.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist
