Well after having a 1/4 tab of 0.5 mg Rivotril, I have somewhat managed to regain control of the ill feelings I have been experiencing earlier today.

I am still coping with a cold & flu like symptom which started almost two weeks ago, and it was almost gone, when it appears that the same symptoms are back again. I have started another course of Advil CS, to counter the runny / stuffy nose. Over the weekend I attempted to use sinutab to alleviate these symptoms.

I am still battling with a symptom that makes  my head feel like under pressure, a heaviness, almost like a dull headache, not sure what to call it. This just seems to aggrevate the current circumstances. It is rather confusing as I cannot tell if this is just cold/flu symptom related or a genuine withdrawal symptom from the use of an anti-depressant called Lexamil as it has now been 8 weeks since I have used it, the only drug that I have used since then is rivotril from time to time as the need arises. As far as I know, the lexamil drug should now most definitely have worked out of my system, however, there is the lasting effects that the drug has had on my brain that I am now contending with.

I have decided to take another 1/4 tab of 0.5 mg of rivotril again this afternoon to settle down the anxiety I am experiencing.  So the total for the day would be 1/2 tab of 0.5mg for the day so far. What makes the feelings worse here, is that the muscles in my back tend to tense up and cause some measure of discomfort. Taking the rivotril does make a difference to me under these circumstances.  I am thinking “maybe I should use it more often” until the cold/flu symptoms have completely abated. My concern about this is the habit forming properties that is associated with rivotril. I’ll check with my doctor and get some advice on the matter. Just for the record, I have NOT used any Rivotril since 1 week ago, when I was away visiting with family that I have not seen for quite some while, the dosage then was 1/4 tab of 0.5mg and I took it twice. So that makes the total a 1/2 tab in total for the day.
