dear rachel, hello.
the medication given for anxiety and depression have side effects, so these medication should not be taken in extra dose unless adviced by a doctor. you are feeling dizzy because of taking zapiz repeatedly.you should drink plenty of water. This will help you to some extent.
For decreasing the frequency of panic attacks, you should try meditation and yoga. this will help your body in many other ways also.
thanks and take care.
