How it works — get your stress management prescription in 4 steps

2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case privately. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for stress management medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to determine suitability for stress management medication. They assess your symptoms, medical history, and any current medications to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. The doctor looks for clear indicators of chronic or severe stress impacting your daily life, along with an evaluation of potential underlying conditions. Contraindications, such as specific heart conditions, glaucoma, or interactions with other drugs, are carefully considered.

What stress management medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Stress management medications, such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) or SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors), work by balancing neurotransmitters in your brain to improve mood and reduce anxiety. They are not a 'cure-all' but can significantly alleviate symptoms like persistent worry, irritability, sleep disturbances, and fatigue when stress becomes overwhelming. You typically start feeling the effects within a few weeks, with full benefits often seen after 4-6 weeks. These medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes and, if recommended, therapy. They do not eliminate the root causes of stress but help manage your body's response to it, making it easier to cope.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, stress management drugs can have side effects. Common ones for SSRIs and SNRIs include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. It's crucial to inform your doctor about any side effects you experience. Red flags that might require immediate medical attention include severe allergic reactions, unusual bleeding, or significant changes in mood or behavior. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will guide you on how to safely adjust or discontinue your treatment if needed.
