Taking all readings into account, my resting rates on desipramine and protriptyline both averaged in the 90's, which was below the 100 bpm level indicated by my pdoc as the threshold of concern. I tend to defer to the judgement of the doctor I'm dealing with, so I certainly would have alerted him if the rate were averaging over 100 bpm, plus probably doing some research on how tachycardia is looked at and defined by various authorities to discuss that with him also. Other doctors may have a different threshold of concern, perhaps 110 bpm, for instance. I am not a real expert on the subject, however.Todd
