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
