I take Zapiz 1mg for panic attack problem since 3years. I want to know the side effects of the drug.
I am 32 yrs old. And suffering from panic attack problem since I was in my second year of graduation. My family tried many medications taking me to best of doctors but of no use. Ultimately four years ago the doc i met last was a great blessing for me as i got out of my problem as per his medication. Now i have become addcted to Zapiz 1mg. I am not confident to go out without taking this medicine. I got married 2 yrs back and my husband knows about my situation very well. I get all his support.
I am really worried about the side effects of this tab Zapiz 1mg. I would like to know about the side effects.
Zapiz is a foreign name for a benzodiazepam derivitive (a triazolobenzodiazepine), Zapizolam. As far as I can determine, it's not sold in the US, but is essentially the same medication as alprazolam and should have the same side effect profile.

Hi,
I can understand ur problem . I think every medicine has side effects ,so dont worry about it, u keep this on but ,i would like to suggest u ur problem is related to ur mind ,so u must starts Meditation ,Yoga ,it definitely cures ur problem & after some time u should no need to take medicine so far.
Am not a docter but i went through this problem ,& one thing ur inner power need to be strong, may be u fall into negativity but always tell ur mind that u never loose. Afterall its fight between ur body & mind......
all Da best
U also try Yoga by Sri ravi Shankar [Sudarshan kriya ] its realy works........i feeel it...
And Always ..remember ...GOD WITH YOU....So dont worry of anything.......

hi,ajay, here is my mail id. siddheshc19@yahoo.com & keep it in ur mind dont stop sudarshan kriya ,do it atleast for 3 months regularly, after that u definitly see positive effects of this.
Hello!
I understood u'r problem. Because I was suffering the same. Now I use to take 0.25 mg Zapiz insted of 1 mg. But its very safe and faster relif medicine. Sourse of this problem Anxiety disorder OR panic attack whatever, is dipression.
Do one exersize to stregthen u'r mind. Seat on the chair in silent room alone, close the eyes. And think that u are at that place where u face panic attac. (For Example I feel panic attack in traffic.) and imagine that u r facing this problem without medicine. Initially 2/3 days ur consious mind will not accept it but after some days u will fell that u can face this problem in ur imagination.
And 2 months later u will quit this problem in real life.
Remember whatever fear u feel in ur mind u just imagine revers in ur mind when u seated with closed eyes. All the Best.
