Cam--you are such an inspiration to me. That said i will answer your questions. I do take the Rivotril at regular times. One in the morning and one at night. I can't increase that because I get sleepy and useless. My doc is a witch who doesn't think I need Xanax as well as Rivotril and won't give it to me. She is afraid I'll overdose and doesn't want that responsibility. Like it's all about HER--please! How can I convince her that I need both and I won't overdose. The depression is taken cae of most days and suicide is NOT an option I think about. If I skip the next Rivotril after taking Xanax will my body go into withdrawal at all and start that vicious cycle of which one do I take when?

dan--thanks for the info. I'll try the melting under my tongue thing. I know it tastes like shit but I'll try anything right now. I want my life back damn it!

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this. Nikki, love you babe. I immediately get the sick feeling and the stomach pain and then the shakes come. Never been any different for me. I hope that will change though.
Take care of yourselves, everyone. You mean the world to me.--hugs, Tina

They help most if you have mainly cardiovascular or adrenergic mediated things like racing heart, BP spikes, flushing, sweating, shakes & tremors. They work in a day or so & are very helpful for some. they do little for anxiety itself, but the rivotril should help with that.
