My brother is suffering from epilepsy. He used medication based on clonazepam always. Recently doctor prescribed him Rivotil. I don’t know much about this medicine. I am worried because I have heard that Rivotil can cause dependence. Is there any situation when he should not take Rivotil?
I don’t think that you should worry about Rivotil. I know some people who use it and results are satisfying. Rivotil is a medicine used for epilepsy and it helps control seizures. For best results he needs to take Rivotil everyday in a dose which is prescribed for him. Make sure he doesn’t take too much or miss a dose. But as I have heard it is best to take before he goes to sleep, because Rivotil can make him tired and drowsy at the beginning. And I also think it is true that Rivotil can cause physical and psychological dependence. He should talk seriously about it with a physician who prescribed him Rivotil.
