This is the first time I have heard this said of any tricyclic with the exception of clomipramine. I have been on quite a few of them, and never had a problem, even at maximum dosages. I'm just one person, of course. However, I don't believe that TCAs cause ED. They might perhaps exaggerate the cremaster reflex during orgasm, but this does not affect the orgasm itself.
