" I think rivotril is the same thing as clonazepam (clonopin), if you take to much your body can build up tolerance to it and yes it is and can be addictive if you dont take it as pescribed.
I would talk to your doctor about it and have him help you cut your doseage down gradually then only take it as needed.
I would try other self help methods for your anxiety, deep breathing, journalling, seeing a physcologist who will help you learn self help skills that way you wont have to rely on your med so much.
I have been on clonopin too, on and off for 6yrs and haven,t had a prob, but right now my anxiety is bad and i feel i could easily take 2mg twice a day but im trying my hardest not too as it,s allways a med that has been very helpfull to me.
Good Luck, keep posting us, we can help support you along the way!.
Hug,s! "
