How To Get Rid Of Rivotril Sleeping Pills?

I take Seroxat 30mg and evening cinolazepamum (sleeping pills gerodorm) and also at bedtime rivotril 0.5mg. Rivotril and sleeping pills I take one month and Seroxat twelve years. I had the problem of sleeping, I slept almost three weeks and now I would like to rivotrilu and sleeping pills to get rid of. I wave to be a strange feeling on the left side of the body mainly on the left side of the face as tingling, pressure in the ears, etc.. this is due to some rivotrilom? This is a good combination of drugs. Please advise me. thank you

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello user , i understand your concern but the symptoms of tinling and pressure like sensation on ears on left side of body are commonly not produced by benzodiazepine(clonazepam/rivotril) and benzodiazepine derivative (cinalozepam) , they may be related to your primary condition for which you are on paroxetine(seroxat) and other medicines - you can report these symptoms to your prescribing psychiatrist who is in a better position to judge- also you are taking both clonazepam and cinalozepam - if you would be my patient i would like to taper down the drugs slowly - one at a time - as otherwise the discontinuation symptoms like anxiety,insomnia are commonly seen , so i would have reduced the dose of clonazepam(rivotril) to 0.25 mg for 2 weeks and then would advise you to stop it - same with cinalozepam , however the dose is not mentioned in your query - it is better if the tapering is done under supervision of your prescribing psychiatrist . hope i answered your query- if satisfied please rate the answer - any followup queries are welcome
