I am probably boring everyone to tears
in repeating my misadventure with trying
to get off Rivotril. I took 2 years to
do it; the dose was 1.0mg - minimum therapeutic;
I had been taking it for 15 years; near the end
i had a stroke/seizure episode that left
me seriously ill for a month - i won't go
into the gorry details but i can tell you if
you want.I did not have trouble getting of Xanax.
Both are benzos but the clonazepam was different;
My dr. never recommended me getting off Rivotril
but let me do my own thing so to speak - i was
not given something to get off with - i used
time (two years on the slow schedule).I think i was close to death with something
like encephalitis - still feel the remnant
effects after a yr. I refuse to go through that
again, and I hope my dr. is not influenced in
any way to make me.Squiggles
