Rivotril contains the active ingredient Clonazepam which is a benzodiazepine that belongs to the group of medications called central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Trade names include: Linotril, Clonotril, Klonopin and more. It is often prescribed for social phobia and panic disorders.
Qtipine/Quetiapine fumarate is a Neuropsychiatric Drug, often prescribed for severe Insomnia, amongst other more serious conditions.

My 24yr old adopted girl always steals and when caught, would not say a word and totally no remorse or whatsoever. Just last night, my eldest bailed her out. She does not do drugs, that i am sure of. We tried different approaches but as she ages, her condition gets worse. We can’t afford private mental institutions.
