Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Insulin and metformin control your blood sugar and prevent complications. Their benefits far outweigh any minor side effects. Similarly Norvasc controls your blood pressure and prevent complications. The side effects are minimal and the benefits are much more.
Notryptiline is an anti depressant and also has anxiolytic properties. If you have anxiety or depression, the benefits would be more than any minor side effects.
So don't worry about side effects as these are very safe in the recommended doses for the approved indications.
I shall be happy to answer any further questions.
Take care
