Why Not To Use Zapiz As A Sleeping Pill In Elderly.

Zapiz (Chlonozepam) is anti-epileptic, anti-seizure medication. It is also used for anti-anxiety. Drowsiness is a side effect so you might fall asleep. But to use it as a sleeping pill is a BIG MISTAKE. In elderly patients it can cause psychomotor retardation.

Elderly people are also more prone to experiencing other side effects, according to the FDA, which may include nausea, dizziness, and headache. So it must be used with caution and only under a doctor's supervision.

Are there any questions or comments?
