Anxiety and depression oftentimes go together. The weight gain is not surprising some due to the medication, and some due to lower metabolic rate, and low exercise, and emotional eating. There may be genetic influences for diabetes and she must take precautions. There seem to be some psychological problems that need investigation and treatment from a counselor too. I believe there may be some genetic predisposition or there has been some childhood issue, related to anger and fear, that needs urg...more

Hi, Thanks for writing in; welcome to the forum. Zapiz contains clonazepam and it can be addictive - both physically and psychologically. It is not recommended to be take for more than 4-6 weeks. What will happen eventually when you try to stop it is the original anxiety problem plus an additional problem of getting rid off addiction to zapiz. The correct treatment for an anxiety disorder is to treat it with psychotherapy alone or in combination with non-addictive medicines such as SSRIs, TCAs, ...more

Hello lybrate-user, taking zapiz (clonazepam) sos id preferable than taking depsol plus for acure relief of your anxiety symptoms. If you are facing panic attacks frequently even after being on regular treatment than you should meet your doctor for re evaluation of your prescription.
You can also try psychotherapy along with medication for further improvement.

Clonafit 0.25 contains clonazepam, if you are feeling wel using this medicine, than continue, if any side effects are observed, then immediately report to the doctor,
clonafit is okay to use but habit forming tendencies are found on long term uses, it should be taken for 3-4 months only.

Better zapiz is taken rarely than regularly as it is a benzodiazepine and requires a prescription and avoided for long term side effects. Good luck

No sir, it is not at all adviseable to try this medication nor to self-medicate/regulate without doctor's approval. If you are so keen on coming off of this medication and want to improve your health, I suggest that you go for counseling in tandem with he medicines. If you combined counseling with the medication you can expect the best outcomes for your anxiety disorder. However, you must be episode-free for at least three years before the doctor will decide on weaning you off of the medication ...more

You are first of fooling around with medications: if the doctor has prescribed it then it was for a good reason. If you have attacks in the future the doctor will certainly give you more. Panic attacks are fear based, and you will tend to exaggerate the response to the stimulus. What happened when these attacks started may have some bearing on your state. The other possibility is that your constitution may have undergone a bit of change favoring the negative side. If you have been on prolonged s...more
