Hi there I am getting a tooth out tomorrow at dental hospital my own dentist referred me because I'm on a drug called rivoroxaban to thin the blood because I have atrial fibrillation I have been advised to continue taking it by my doctor before tomorrow. I am freaking out I stupidly read on Google that there is no antidote but it has a very short life 24 hours I have been given pills to take by my doctor 2 lorezapam 1mg and then 4mg at midnight and 4 in the morning 90 minutes before appointment but I am freaking out what if I bleed to death. I will be a lot calmer once pills have affected me but pretty uptight now it is the what ifs last ti E I didn't go through with it even after all the pills!!! But I need to It has abscesses 3 times I need it out.

Ahh I hate the dentist too. You won't bleed too death, be no different than anyone else. If there was any dought whatsoever they wouldn't proceed with it.
You will be fine. Be less painful than an abbscess.
