Hi, I am staying in Singapore. I had seizures after my delivery. It was for the first time. I was taking Kepra for 6 months. Later I had some anxiety related issues, so had zapiz .5 Then stopped the zapiz. After 1 month or so, I was affected by vertigo followed by anxiety symptoms. Now I have headache almost everyday. So I called my doc in India and taking zapiz .5. When I reduce it to half a dosage I am having the headache again. Now I am confused how long should I have zapiz with one full medicine dosage.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Zapiz is a benzodiazepine, commonly used for treating anxiety. It has a high probability of causing addiction, if used for long. So, I suspect you are developing an addiction to it. That is the reason, as soon as you stop it, symptoms recur.First, we need to determine the cause of your headaches. If it is migraine, then, we need to use preventive medications. Since you have seizures also, topiramate or divalproex would be a better option than Kendra (levetiracetam), as they would help both seizures and migraines. For coming out of rapid, you may take the help of a psychiatrist. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
