Is Zapiz Effective In The Treatment Of Anxiety And Insomnia?

Is it safe to take zapiz 0.5mg for anxiety and sleep disorder? My doctor advised me zapiz 0.5mg once a day for anxiety and intermitent sleep. I am taking this medicine since the last 3 days. He also advised to reduce the dosage to half once I start getting sleep. I have had some relief from anxiety with its use and would like to know after how long I can discontinue its use. Also are there any side effects of taking this medicine and discontinuing its use after a while. Thank you.

Hi,

I can understand your concern. Zapiz is a safe drug for use in insomnia and anxiety. But the drug should be used only as per advice by a psychiatrist. Regular use for long could result in the development of tolerance and dependence. So yes, you can use this drug, this drug has great effectiveness but the dosage can be reduced once you are better. It is not advisable to practice self-medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
