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

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. This provides the doctor with essential information about your health and stress symptoms.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing. There's no risk.
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 carefully assess each patient's suitability for stress management medication. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, the severity and duration of your stress symptoms, and any other medications you might be taking. Contraindications or specific health conditions could make certain treatments inappropriate. The doctor's review ensures that any prescribed medication is safe and effective for your individual needs.

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

Stress management medications, such as certain antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, work by targeting specific neurotransmitters in the brain to help regulate mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. They are designed to alleviate severe symptoms, making it easier to engage in therapy and lifestyle changes. These medications typically do not offer an instant cure; their full effects often become noticeable over several weeks. They are a tool to help manage symptoms, not a standalone solution, and work best when combined with other stress-reducing strategies.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, stress management drugs can have side effects. Common ones might include drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, or changes in appetite, especially when first starting treatment. It's crucial to discuss all potential side effects with your doctor. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects, worsening symptoms, or any allergic reactions. Never stop taking prescribed medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of your condition.
