Nexito 5mg , Rivotril 0.25mg side effect
Hi. I have anxiety and panic attack issues. I have been prescribed Nexito 5mg and rivotril 0.25 mg by my psychiatrist. I have been taking 1 nexito and 1/2 rivotril every night for last 4 days. But it has yet not made me feel any better. On the second night of taking it I was more anxious. Third night of taking it I slept well but felt gassy and like acidity. 4th night I took a Pan-D before dinner and then the prescribed tablets after dinner. I had chills suddenly and felt heavy in the chest. But it passed. I have been sleeping but not consistently. Is this common with these medicines. How long can I expect this to happen? When will the medicine start showing effect?
