Hello Doctor, My father has been sufferring from somatisation from the last 4 years,He says that when he closes his eyes his only left part of his head start revolving or spining.This has illness has occured to him in 2009 and the speed of his spinning has increased gradually over the years.We have performed several tests including PET scan and vertigo test.everything is normal ad no abnormality was found in all these tests or other tests.He is diabetic. He has been sufferring from depression since 2002,from that time he is taking duzela 30 mg(twice daily),zapiz 0.5mg(daily) relidep 10 mg(at night) which he stopped 7 months back because he was taking 100 mg at night daily due to hsi movement. Recently we have consulted a doctor in Calcutta India.He has given him Opiprol 50 mg at night for 14 days then to make it twice daily(morning and night).duzela 30 mg and zapiz 0.5 mg twice for 2 weeks and then to withdraw it because zapiz and opiprol cannot be given together because of some chemical issues. So i just wanted to ask that the prescribed medicine is good for him or not or there is something better than the current medication and diagnosis. thank you ayush dokania 0091-9051-333-577 YYYY@YYYY

HiThanks for using healthcare magicIf he has such problems for last 4 years and there complaints are continuous, then diagnosis would remain somatoform disorder. In that he has to take medications for long and there is no need for any investigation because all investigations would come normal. There is no harm in current medications, Duzela is good drug in somatoform disorder and opiprol has also good response on patient with somatoform disorder. Just wait to get proper response.Thanks
