Dear Lybrate user, Rivotril is one of the common medicine being prescribed for insomnia and anxiety. If taken under medical supervision it is safe but may (not necessarily) cause development of dependence if taken beyond prescription. There are other better medicines for anxiety which are not addictive and habit forming. I would suggest you to meet a qualified psychiatrist for detailed discussion. He may advise you some relaxation techniques and psychological intervention.
