Rivotril withdrawal : Suddenly stopping a benzodiazepine medication such as rivotril can be dangerous, with rebound anxiety and seizures occurring. To get off these medications a systematic committed weaning process is recommended under the supervision of your doctor.

Need to taper: If coming off long term use of rivotril (clonazepam) you need to taper off it. Don't just stop it. See your prescribing doctor and have him/her come up with a taper schedule.
