Tina - Do you take a regular, scheduled dose of Rivotril? If so, adding Xanax for breakthrough panic attacks has been used. There should be no problem taking Rivotril with Xanax, just watch for increased sedation and "hang-over" effect. You may want to skip the next Rivotril dose after taking a Xanax.
Before taking the Xanax with the Rivotril, run this by your doc first. There may be a reason he/she may not want you to take the two together. Just explain the situation of breakthrough panic and Rivotril taking too long to work. Also ask about missing the Rivotril dose after taking a Xanax.
My family is still trying to find a "new normal". Every now and then I find myself thinking that Suz will be phoning to use the car or to come over for supper (actually she would have been living with us for the summer, until school started). Also, the dog tore ligaments in her knee and she had to have surgery. We did hope like hell that she wouldn't react to the anesthetic (she didn't). She's limping and the kitten is torturing her, but she should be fine.
Hope this helps - Cam
