Can I Take Rivotril Along With Xanax?

Is it safe to take 0,5 (half of it) Rivotril same day (8 hrs later) when small dose of Xanax is already been taken (half of 0,5mg) ? It seems that Xanax is too strong for me, and I been on small Rivotril dosage until yesterday. Many thanks in advance!

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

You should know that both Rivotril and Xanax interact with each other, leading to increased sedation and a low physical performance.
Anyway, Xanax should be taken only as a short term therapy, while Rivotril can be taken as long term therapy.
The dose of Rivotril that you are taking is really low. So, it is OK to take 0.25mg xanax.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
