Drug manufacturing and quality control

I was just searching to see if there is
another brand of imipramine, than "Apo-imipramine".
There is another "Novo-imipramine", which is the same price, and "Tofranil" (the original trade name of the drug), which is about twice the price.

The reason I ask is because one factor that has not been considered in this case of ineffective imipramine, is the possibility that the manufacture of drugs varies according to origin of country or lab, or company. I know this was the case with lithium, when I reached sub-therapeutic levels and fell into mixed states. When I changed the brand to my old one, I recovered from a dangerous condition.

Does anyone know about the possible variability of quality control in drugs?

Maybe this is the reason 300mg imipramine is required and is still weak (not my case).

thanks for any tips you may have;
