Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Zapiz is a medicine used for anxiety and panic attack control. It contains Clonazepam which is a sedative medicine. It is quite safe, however used for a long time can be addictive.
If your doctor has prescribed it for you, he has found a reason for it. And you should trust your doctor especially that you find his therapy helpful.
The doctor prescribed this medicine because stress and anxiety has a great impact for stomach acid secretion. So in some cases this medicine can be very helpful. And you were lucky to have a doctor who took care not only about your stomach but also about deeper reasons of your problem.
I suggest you to consult your doctor and share your thoughts about this medicine with him, and you shouldn't resign from it without doctors advice.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
