> Has anyone here had their serum level of a tricyclic antidepressant tested? If so, which TCA was it, what dose were you taking, and what was the serum level?

Wish I had more info for you, but....

I did, about a decade ago. I was on imipramine. I had the serum levels tested several times because we kept upping the dose and I still was not at the therapeutic level. I finally ended up on 300 mg/day before I reached the therapeutic serum level. The pdoc was very surprised and said my body must have been absorbing the medicine very poorly.
