Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tofranil has Imipramine in it, which can cause sexual side effects. Sexual side effects can be taken care of by either reducing the dose or shifting to a safer drug. It is advisable here not to stop the drug as your symptoms of panic attacks may come back again.
There are many treatments available for erectile dysfunction, which include medication, which are supposed to be taken before sexual activity and psychological means, which help to overcome erectile dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
