Not sure when he's going to his Dr, so don't know for sure if he'll be increasing his dose. I'd guess he's been on the N for about 10 days now. I also haven't heard anywhere yet that you build a tolerance to the tricyclics like you do with gabapentin, so I don't know about dose increases down the road.
