Selank for work anxiety vs a benzo for work anxiety
34 posts
Obviously different risk profiles. But for mild, functional, "meeting-triggered" anxiety, has anyone compared Selank to, say, low-dose clonazepam or buspirone?
Not looking for a prescription. Looking for people who've actually had access to both and formed an opinion on the subjective difference.

Had access to both in different seasons. Benzo: clear acute sedation and anxiolysis, significant cognitive cost, tolerance and dependence concerns. Selank: softer effect, no cognitive cost, no dependence concern, probably smaller absolute effect on severe anxiety.

For functional pre-meeting anxiety Selank is the better tool. For panic disorder Selank is a toy compared to proper treatment. Match the tool to the severity.

Also worth flagging: the anxiolytic literature in humans for Selank is thin but the acute-safety profile is clean. Benzos have a ceiling on how long you can use them responsibly that Selank doesn't.

Middle-of-the-road answer that actually helped me pick. Selank it is for the pre-meeting flutter.
