It's important to let the prescriber know the side effects and request alternatives. I think SSE was common with Anafranil.

Hello friend. I don't think that would be of much help since I live in Brazil. And its quite rare to find such doctors in the city I live (its very small). But I'll try to look for them.

Anafranil is an old Tricyclic antidepressant. These can have heavy side effects.
If it were me I would dump the Anafranil and keep the Rivotril.
I would bet it is the Anafranil causing the sexual side effects. It is listed as one. I have never heard of Rivotril causing that.

Yes, Rivotril is Clonazepam and Anafranil is Clomepramine.
I was taking 5 Clomepramines a day and 1 Clonazepam. Now I am slowly cutting the Clomepramines and am now at 2 Clomepramines and 1 Clonazepam per day. I think I am feeling slightly better, but I am still afraid of the panic attacks
