Periactin For Weight Gain

Where can I find peractin pills and how much do the pills cost? ## Because Periactin (Cyproheptadine) is a prescription medication, you're probably going to have to make an appointment with a local doctor in order to see about getting it prescribed. However I do question how an antihistamine for allergies is going to help with weight gain? As far as pricing is concerned, some sources suggest that you may end up paying anywhere from $15-$30 for a 30 day script of the 4mg tabs. There also happen to be plenty of coupons out there (including one on this site) that can help cut down the cost for you if that's a problem. Please post back if there's anything else I can help with. I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goals! ## My name is Ann you will have to get a prescripti...

How can I get some Periactin to help me gain weight? ## i need sum help to gain weight ## @Erica (original poster), Periactin (Cyproheptadine) is listed as an antihistamine indicated for allergies. And although one side effect of Periactin is a "stimulated appetite", side effects are mere 'possibilities' that don't happen to everyone... so I'm really curious as to why you would think to use an allergy medication to help gain weight instead of more conventional methods such as monitoring the amount of calories you eat throughout the day? Perhaps contacting a registered dietician or nutritionist may be a wise decision if you need help reaching specific goals with your caloric intake. ## Periactin ## I'm looking to gain weight what can I take ## If u have a high...

Does Periactin really work for weight gain ## I've tried it! It opens ur appetite and makes u gain weight, but it makes u really sleepy. ## Periactin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, it is used to treat allergic reactions, nightmares, migraines and seratonin syndrome. It is not approved for use in the US as an aid in gaining weight, though since some doctors have found this to be a side effect, they may, at their discretion, prescribe it for such as an off-label use. Other common side effects may include: drowsiness, headache, nausea and suppression of growth. You can read more here: Are there any other questions?

My 79 year old mom was prescribed periactin for weight gain. I was wondering if it's habit forming? She's afraid to take it. ## Hello, Michelle! How is your mom doing? No, it is actually an antihistamine that can cause weight gain as a side effect, as reported by the FDA. She may also experience dizziness, drowsiness, and dry mouth. Is she on any other medications?

Is Periactin safe to increase weight? Is that effect permanent weight gain or only as long as i take it? ## Periactin, which contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine, normally used to treat allergies. And, just like any medication, it does have risks and side effects, so no, just using it in attempt to gain weight is not considered safe. It can cause an increased appetite in some people, which sometimes causes them to gain some weight, however, it is usually not significant and the effects don't continue, when someone stops the medication. In addition, any method of gaining weight artificially, that doesn't involve a healthy diet and exercise can have severe detrimental effects on your health. Are there any other questions? ## Thanks for the info Verwon....

There are other migraine medications available, please talk to your doctor. ## Do most people take PERIACTIN at night time are in the morning?

please tel me the weight gain drug name which should not cause any side effect ## First, all medications carry the risk of side effects. There are none that can be promised to be side effect free. Second, there is no medication that will miraculously help you gain weight. Products that claim to do this as vitamin or herbal supplements that are not actually proven to help with anything. If you are a tiny person who wishes to gain weight, your best bet is to follow a proper diet and exercise regimen. Even doing that, some people are just naturally small, so your weight may not change. Regardless of what I try, I can't top 115 pounds and have just accepted that. Are there any questions or comments? ## Try periactin they really worked for me and many others and I weighed 92lbs.good luck...

Im 29 years old. My weight is 50kg, ## I'm not aware of any injections (aside from steroids) that can smaller people gain weight. Someone else in another thread here actually had a similar issue, but recommended trying Periactin (cyproheptadine). Apparently long term use of the drug can stimulate the appetite and may lead to weight gain, which is helpful for underweight people. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Periactin Details Overall, if you are a smaller person who wishes to gain weight, in my honest opinion your best bet is to follow a proper diet and exercise regimen. Even doing that, some people are just naturally small, so your weight may or may not change that significantly. I hope this info helps! ## Hi, my name is Christy. I am 32 yrs. old and have2 kids....

Was trying to order periactin weight gains my appetite is down i go maybe 2 days without bein able to eat i think its stress but i am losing to much weight ## Because Cyproheptadine (Periactin) is a prescription medication - at least here in the US - you will need to visit a doctor in order to get it prescribed. Something to keep in mind though is that if you intend on using this medication for weight gain, doing so may be a waste of time in my opinion, since Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine and weight gain is only listed a possible side effect that may or may not occur. So if you ask me, hoping for 1 side effect to pull through doesn't necessarily sound like a feasible approach to weight gain. Have you considered discussing appetite stimulants with your doctor or maybe even an he...

Plz can anybody tell me if I can use periactin for increasing my body weight, also to particularly gain mass on my face? I was suffering from a kidney stone and sometimes I feel a little pain on both of my sides. Plz reply to me. Is periactin safe for me? ## Periactin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, it is an antihistamine. And yes, it can help stimulate someone's appetite, but if you do put on weight, there is no way to target it to your face or any other body part. It is really not safe to just randomly use a medication to try to gain weight, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. If you have kidney stones, you also need to be careful, because some medications can make them worse. Your best bet to try and gain weight is by eating a healthy diet ...
