But here I am, waiting for my reluctant doctor to increase my dosage of desipramine. I am not doing that badly, but I know that I am just 100mg from remission. I now find that I am waiting again. Not smart.

I can completely understand the anger -- no.. this is not like "I can feel your pain", because that would sound pithy -- I sympathize is a better way of putting it.And also, though I know you have been through a strong battle with things -- I have seen the list of agents and agents you have been on, it isn't necessarily the case that you're X milligrams away from a problem.
But I can respect that feeling because I know that unfortunately I am, or I think I am but it may not necessarily be true, X and Y milligrams away from functionality from 2 agents I'd just assume not be taking so long.
Psychoactive substances take their time, as of course you already know, plasma life, transmitter life, etc.
Have you ever tried psychodynamic approaches adjucnt to your medication lists?
-- best wishes
