Dear lybrate-user. You can take one or two small peg but you need to consult psychiatrist for readjustment of medicine as there are chances of overdose. All d best!

At initial stage it is always recommended to go for advanced psychological therapies for stress and anixety like lfms, erp, eft, mb-cbt and natural medicine like bach flower medicine which will give you more enhancement in few days and totally minimize all your symptoms and help you from lifetime medication. Consult a good psychologist or psychotherapist who has these tools in your area. You may get help from me if you want.

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. Regular blood tests and observation by psychiatrist is needed. Else you might land in some irreversible problems. Good luck.

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

Please consult your doctor and discuss your symptoms. May be you have changed your medicine so you are feeling that way. Don't stop taking the medicine your own. Your doctor may adjust your dosage or advice you to take it for some time so that your body get adjusted to the medicine.

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. The benefits will come only if it is adequate dose - not just fifty mg. Please consult the doctor again after 1 week. He may increase the dose or add another drug or psychotherapy or relaxation therapy.
