Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine, used to treat several conditions, such as allergic reactions, nightmares, seratonin syndrome and prevention of migraines.

It does have sedative like properties, so one of its side effects is drowsiness, which means in some cases this can also seem to be depression. Some people do have reactions to these types of medications that can make them irritable.

My daughter was prescribed this med because of nightmares, but the nightmares continue. Antihistamines are sometimes prescribed for short term tx of schizophrenia which she has. And she's gained a significant amount of weight.
