I don't think Tofranil's any worse than any other med tbh Courtney. It's just that it's very common and has been in use for about 50 years, so you're bound to get more reports of adverse events.
The main SE's like postural hypotension, dry mouth and constipation you may well get on Nardil anyway, so it's much of a muchness.
That said, Nardil is supposedly more effective for really stubborn anxiety or depression...
