Sziszi Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I've been taking Rivotril+ for 8 years. Half a year a doctor took it overnight and got Rilex* instead. The ambulance took me to the hospital one night. I got Rivotril back, but it doesn't give me the effect it used to be. I can reduce it so that it is not unbearable. Thanks + clonazepam * Lorazepam is reported as an ingredient of Rilex in the following countries: Hungary Edited September 18, 2019 by ChessieCat fixed up / added drug names Link to comment

Sziszi Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) In March 2019 I replaced Rivotril (1.5mg) with Rilex (2.5mg), and I was hospitalized for two weeks with withdrawal symptoms. Rivotril was then restored Edited September 18, 2019 by ChessieCat fixed up Link to comment
