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.

Keppra is absolutely safe in pregnancy. On the other hand, if you stop taking it, your epilepsy will exacerbate and that will harm you and your baby. So, please continue it. Also start folic acid.

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

Dear Yasha,
Both clonazepam and etizolam are NOT medicines for OCD. They belong to benzodiazepine group of anxiolytics. You don't gain weight by these medicines, if you maintain the usual diet and exercise schedule.

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
