Rivotril? (generically known as clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine medication that’s often prescribed to people who have epilepsy or some other kind of seizure disorder.
Rivotril works by increasing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
- This is a chemical that sends signals throughout the nervous system.
- If there’s not enough GABA in the body an excited state occurs.
- This may result in panic attacks or seizures.
- When taking this drug more GABA is produced in the body preventing these crises from occurring.
