Hi,
>my blood levels of desipramine have been very low.
In that case, if you need to increase desipramine to help relieve depression, be guided by:
1. Typical desipramine adverse effects such as elevated heart rate (can easily monitor this), very excessive sweating etc. If these appear, consider reducing desipramine again.
2. Your ECG/EKG. Consider checking after dose increases. Can measure the QTc interval and other cardiac indices.
Increasing the dose in small steps is advisable.
