Dear lybrate-user, First of all congratulations for deciding to take the sleeping pill off. I don't know how long you are taking Zapiz and why you are taking it. This is very important as because ideally it should be taken maximum for 4 weeks (2-4 weeks) if you are taking it only for insomnia. It will not cause much problem if you have taken less than that. However if you are taking longer, you should first decrease it to 0.5 mg for few days, then 0.25 mg for few days and finally take it off. Please maintain a very good sleep hygiene during this process and thereafter. Wish you all the best!
