Both rivotril and Trika belong to a group of drugs called Benzo diazepine, why do you want to change over, what is the condition for which you are taking this. Was it prescribed by a doctor or is it self medication, please remember self medication will be counter productive. Plaese consult a psychiatrist an ddiscuss your problem.

No sir, it is not at all adviseable to try this medication nor to self-medicate/regulate without doctor's approval.

Dear lybrate-user
so far what you have done is enough to stop it. I don't think that this does will have any adverse effects, and even if you experience anything you can take last dose on sos basis. What you are taking now is pediatric dose that is unlikely to cause any discontinuation effect.
