Can I take Rivotril if I am off Ativan?

51-year-old woman2 years ago
I no longer have a prescription for Ativan. While waiting to meet my doctor, which can be long, can I take rivotril, which I have at home to sleep better? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question!
Firstly, if you have been using Ativan chronically (we are talking about prolonged regular use), and your prescription had refills, I strongly urge you to contact your pharmacist to see if your prescription could be extended pending a follow-up with the doctor.
If Rivotril had been previously prescribed for you, it would be possible to take it (provided of course that you do not take it at the same time as Ativan), but there is some information missing: to this effect, I recommend that you ask your pharmacist who undoubtedly knows your case much better than I do :)
I hope I've been helpful, don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
