Hi I been on Rivotril for 14 yrs and every time I want to decrease I start to feel dizzy and sick, I'm on 4 x 0.05mg tables but have dropped down to 3 tables and touch wood I am fine.
I am planning to start a family next year and want off Rivotri as it will harm my unborn child, how do I reduce it, or is there another table that wont harm my child.
How do I reduced myself off this horrible drug?

This is an excellent question to ask both your prescribing Dr. and pharmacist. What is the reason you're on this? There might be another safer drug that can be substituted for it. Then you could transition off this one as you increase the new one. I have no idea why you're Dr. is prescribing this and can't recommend you deciding to get off of it.
