Opipramol 50 mg has adverse side effects. As you are interested to discontinue this medicine, you may take an alternative homeopathic medicine. I you are interested, book online appointment/consultation with me (commencing from text consult rs 149, audio/phone-rs 300) for further prescription and treatment.

Your diabetic profile looks good. Since you are a long term diabetic and on pioglitazone for long period, you can be given equally good drug with less of side effects.

Hello, it seems like your sugar is well under control which is evident from hba1c value of 6.1.
