Tofranil PM Side Effects: Summary

You may experience some or none of the Tofranil PM side effects explained above. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects, or something that "just does not seem right," during treatment with Tofranil PM. While it may not be a Tofranil PM side effect, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
