Medication Update

It turned out that the pharmacy couldn't find a recipe to compound the desipramine because it is very unstable when compounded, meaning it will go bad very quickly and we would have to get a refill every 5 days or so. So we ended up getting tablets that we have to cut into 4ths, grind up, and put through his tube. We started last night. From what I have read about using tricyclics for pain, it can take up to 3-4 weeks to build up in the system and make a difference so right now we are just going to wait and see.
