question on testing imipramine levels-help?

Posted by Lia Mason on November 13, 2002, at 11:10:28

Hi,

I'm taking imipramine for pain. It's been determined that I'm a "rapid metabolizer" of the drug and we've been titrating up slowly for what seems like forever, trying to get a thereapeutic level.

My question is this: My pain doc says that you need to be on a given dose for a full month before you test the level. My psychiatrist says you can test it after a week. I'm in pain and short on patience. Anyone here know how quickly a level can be established?

Thank you!
Lia
