It is safe for long term use, provided you don't self medicate and get yourself monitored, regularly by a psychiatrist. Once in three months is usually enough if all goes well.

Don't stop this medication on your own. It needs to be continued for some time.
I suggest seeing your psychiatrist before stopping it.

Dear Ravi,
It is true that most antidepressants take time to cross the blood brain barrier. But Opipramol reaches brain faster. May be -7 days time.

He may increase the dose or add another drug or psychotherapy or relaxation therapy.
