There are many anti anxiety medicines available to treat anxiety. If Toficalm is not helping you then talk to your attending doctor about it. After evaluating you, your doctor will definitely give you some other medicine that will help you more. Along with, you can undergo counselling sessions & behavioral therapies to overcome the anxiety & stress that you are suffering from. Prepare for your exam with a positive mind. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user, it is possible that benzodiazepines do affect concentration. However give it a few days till your brain gets used to it. If you feel the difficulty in concentration is persistent or intolerable please contact your prescribing physician soon.
