User Comments
"I no longer feel exhausted or emotional since I take Tofranil"
Before I started taking Tofranil on a daily basis, all the symptoms were really getting me down. For at least a week or two out of every month, I was exhausted and wished I could go back to sleep by noon. I also suffered water-weight gain, causing constant discomfort. In addition, I had a tendency to become more emotional during those weeks. With Tofranil my life has turned around! I no longer feel exhausted or emotional. And I don't suffer from fluctuations in my weight due to retaining water anymore. Tofranil has really improved the quality of my life and given me energy to do all the things that I need to do every day!

Since taking Tofranil, my problem is cured, and my life has never been better! Thanks Tofranil .
