Rivotril is clonazepam a benzodiazepine which relieves anxiety symptoms but doesn't act on the cause of reduced serotonin, which causes anxiety. Also benzodiazepines are harmful on a longer run. So consult a psychiatrist and switch to ssri or snri group of medications gradually weaning you of the benzodiazepines would be the ideal treatment. Good luck.

As they are familiar with his history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.

Dear Alpana,
Petril being a benzodiazepine drug, you may become dependent on it. When you are not depressed, avoid petril. If depressed, go in for antidepressant.

Dear, Kindly go to the psychiatrist you visiting for your complaints. Who gave you the prescription to use lonazep 0.25 since 2 years. You might be feeling some vertigo but your doctor will clarify you whether its a symptom due to medication usage or is it a vertigo. If possible visit an Ent doctor too. Get well soon.
