> Thanks for responding. I've heard that about smoking, too. I only smoke 2-3 cigs a day, though. I'm also on Synthroid, Sam-e, Elmiron (interstitial cystitis med), tiny bit of effexor and tiny tiny bit of lexapro.

> LiaLia, you could get a liver "panel" done to see if there is something odd there. It also could be you are not *absorbing* the medication properly. If anything the Lexapro and Effexor would slightly elevate imipramine levels, the others I am not sure about. Maybe if you tried taking your imipramine at a different time of day or with a meal instead of on an empty stomach (or vice versa), that would help.
