Hi Jade.

Yup. Feeling better already. What's more, my doctor raised the dosage from 300mg to 350mg without my asking him to do so. He didn't like the descriptions of what I experienced last week. Since there was enough room in the blood levels of desipramine as reported on the results of the blood test, he decided that I was indeed a rapid metabolizer, and had no problem with going up in dosage.

I sure was patient with this one. 12 weeks of being underdosed, and knowing it, was a frustrating experience and an exercise in patience and tolerance. With the exception of last night, I followed my doctor's orders to the letter.

Anyway, I am encouraged by what I am feeling.
