How It Works

Rivotril 2mg works by increasing the effect of a chemical in the brain called GABA. This chemical helps calm down nerve activity, which makes you feel more relaxed and less anxious or tense.

1. Feeling sleepy or tired
2. Dizziness
3. Muscle weakness
4. Trouble with memory or focus

More serious side effects can happen, especially if taken with alcohol or other calming drugs. These may include slow breathing or feeling very drowsy.

Precautions

1. Dependence: Using rivotril 2mg for a long time can lead to your body getting used to it, which may lead to needing more to get the same effect.
2. Stopping Suddenly: Don’t stop taking it all at once—this can cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, shaking, or seizures. Always talk to your doctor first.
3. Drug Interactions: rivotril 2mg can react with other medicines, especially ones that also slow down the nervous system, like sleeping pills or painkillers.

How to Take It

Always take Rivotril 2mg exactly as your doctor tells you. Don’t take more or less than prescribed. If you’re unsure about anything or feel side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
