For Anorexia "I have struggled with gaining weight/appetite for a while now. After dropping down to 109 and hearing comments every day about being thin, I saw my doctor and he prescribed me this. It has worked wonders for my appetite! I put on 10 lbs in almost 3 weeks and plan to keep going until I'm about 130. They made me sleepy at first but now that has worn off after about the 2nd week. If you are looking to put on weight I highly recommend trying these... Great appetite enhancer!"

For Anorexia "I love this medicine!! I started it 04/09/18 to help me with my poor appetite and help me gain weight.. LET'S JUST SAY IT DID JUST THAT.. I have been struggling with weight gain for years. It does take 3 days for your body to get use to it and you will be sleepy.. But after the 3 days you will eat like a fat grown man. I eat over 4000k calories daily. I gained 10lbs within the 1st 10 days. I was picking up between 2/4lbs every week. I was eating breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and late night dinner. I stayed snacking on something if I wasn't eating a meal. What help me out with my weight to was I was eating shakes everyday with a meals. I stop taken it 06/20/18. I still eat good not as good as when I was on the pills. But I have maintain my weight and eating habits off the pills. I have gained a TOTAL OF 35lbs IN 2 1/2 MONTHS.. I started the pill weighing in at 105lbs size 0/1 to now weighing 140lbs size 6/7.."

For Anorexia "I've been taking this medication for about 2 weeks and I'm not sure if I've gained much but its definitely helping me eat more! I've been TOO skinny my entire life and I hate it! Just like fat people hate being fat and are sensitive when people point it out so are us bony people! Like I literally hate when people say do you eat much look how skinny you are and things like that! It's rude and I'm insecure about being this skinny! It's hard to gain weight and make myself eat! I don't have a eating disorder but I also don't have an appetite most of the time normally. But now that my doctor has prescribed me this its making me eat at least 3 meals a day and snacks in between. I weighed 112 and I'm 5'9. So you can imagine I'm very skinny and slinky. My boyfriend says to make small goals like 10-15 lbs but I want to gain 40-50 honestly. My "healthy weight would be 155. I can't wait to finally feel okay about myself again!"

For Anorexia "I have struggled for years to keep weight on, I am 5'2" and was 96lbs. None of my clothes have ever looked good on me....People just don't feel sympathy for people that struggle to gain weight. It's always about diets and losing weight. My appetite was terrible and I would have to force myself to eat....my doctor prescribed this medication a week ago and I have gained 10lbs so far. Cannot wait to see what I look like in two weeks! I will finally be able to wear adult women's clothes and have them fit!"

For Anorexia "I have been thin my whole life as are my parents and sister who has had two children. I am 5'6 and about 92 lbs. I started Perfection again as I was on it last year in February for 1 month. I take 2 pills at night. You can definitely tell there is an increase in my appetite. My Doctor prescribed me 60 pills and two refills. I plan to gain at least 20 lbs. I will weigh myself at the end of April and May. I try to snack on peanuts and fruit throughout the day. I will return with results at the end of May. Wish me luck!"

For Anorexia "This medicine is a miracle I gained 10 pounds. This is what happened. My doctor took me off because medicaid don't pay for it anymore, so he just wrote the prescription and told me just to pay for it at the Pharmacy which was fine. It was when I got off them that I lost all my weight, which made me so mad. So I went to back to my doctor and he fixed the problem just by prescribing some more. I was down to 138lb now my weight agin has me at 143lb in two months by goal is 155lb. I'm 5'3 I hope everyone does good on their weight gain journey with cyproheptadine"

So I asked a new doctor for it and yes he prescribed it. I started 2/11/2016 at 113 now it 2/16/2016 weighing 120 I'm so happy. I was sleepy at first but it gets better over a week so not bad now. I love this pill!"

For Anorexia "I've always been quite underweight and absolutely hated it, tried this years ago and quit a few pills in due to the tiredness caused. Gave it another shot 6 weeks ago and have gained a stone already (usually impossible!). I've been taking one a day which is a low dose and my appetite has easily doubled. I used to feel full half way through a meal and feel anxious going out for food in case I couldn't finish it. Definitely not a problem anymore. I've given it a 10 as it has made such a huge impact on my self esteem already, and unexpectedly resolved what I believe to be urticaria over night. The only downside is the tiredness; makes getting to sleep nice and easy but waking up is so difficult! Long way to go still, but very happy so far :)"

If you are wondering like I was and asking does it really work. The answer is YES! YES! 117-124 pounds in one week ;) happy weight gaining."

For Anorexia "I have always had a hard time gaining weight since I was a teenager. Nothing that I tried before worked BUT cyproheptadine. It took me years of research and I tried a few different methods, different diets etc... doctors would tell me that I was going to gain weight with age... but I absolutely hated the way my clothes looked on me and how skinny I was. One beautiful, happy , lucky day, lol, I saw a post online about cyproheptadine and decided to do a little research. I asked my primary doctor to prescribe it to me and she did. I gained about 15 pounds or more with this medication in just a few months. I was about 100 pounds and now I am at 123. I only take the medication if I feel that my appetite is poor... I just pop one of those. great!"

For Anorexia "I did use cyproheptadine for 5months. I was a 45kg skinny dude now I am 68kg. I did stop cyproheptadine for a while and my weight gain doesn't go away easy because its normal eating weight, I was very skinny now I am very muscular. I totally recommend it for skinny dudes but with gym training because weight gain is crazy with this pill ❤️"

Periactin (cyproheptadine) for Migraine "My teenage daughter suffered with debilitating migraines that became daily over a 1 year period. She was finally diagnosed with Chiari 1 Malformation. She tried Topamax for almost a year & Elevil for a month, along with Rizatriptan & Ketaprofen. NOTHING helped until Periactin. She was practically a part of our couch and kept our living room like a dungeon. She cried on a daily basis and could barely go to school. Now she is a normal teen and can even play sports! She rarely gets a headache and it goes away with rest. This is 2 months of 2 pills a day (the lowest dose). She does have a greater appetite, but I have her drink more water and limit her food intake. She stays on a schedule taking her doses, one with breakfast and one by 9 p.m."

Periactin (cyproheptadine) for Anorexia "Used this for severely underweight toddler (borderline failure to thrive) to gently bring the weight back on to the growth chart. Managed to bring the weight up from off the chart to 25% (for a 90% height baby)."

Periactin (cyproheptadine) for Migraine "I was prescribed 4 mg 3x a day. I asked my PCP for a prescription for this after doing some research myself. I never did see clear dosage guidelines so my Dr put me on the dose for allergies because use for migraines its off lable. I started it at 4 mg at night and had to go home sick (sleepy) from work the next day! So be very cautious when starting this medicine. I then started taking only 2mg each night and it has worked wonderfully. I had a migraine everyday for about 6 months before trying this and now not one for Months. I feel like I have my life back."

Periactin (cyproheptadine) for Anorexia "Asked my doc for prescription 5 weeks ago. I was shocked when I weighed myself. First month I gained 16 pounds. I had two kids both one year apart. Started losing weight like crazy. Too busy to eat. Well, it keeps you hungry. However, if you go out and buy protein bars and the weight gain shakes, they help fill you up. Ensure is good too. Also on depot so not sure which one makes me crave sweets. I'm suppose to be 150 I'm solid about 5'8. Went down to 118 within weeks. Perfect health just no appetite. The shakes are easy to make and buy some already cooked meals and lots of snacks. I thought my stomach was going to eat itself. I do recommend taking an allergy pill with drowsy affects at bedtime a week before you start. 140 last check"

For Anorexia "Hello, I have been tiny my entire life. In 2007 I had to have emergency surgery. Turned out I had a band around my intestines. I had abdominal surgery and appendix removed. The doctor said I was born with this band and that's why I was in a lot of pain, he also said that's why I was not able to gain weight because the band was wrapped around my intestines. It's been over 10 years and still haven't picked up weight. I recently had my first baby April 19th of this year. I gained 20lbs but lost it right after having him. I went to my OB for an appointment he said he was going to send me to a specialist but want me to start taking this medicine. I hope this helps because I am 34 years old and very underweight for my age and it's very annoying when people say "You mustn't eat." "How much you weight" so I will post my updates I just got medicine today."

For Anorexia "I was prescribed cyproheptadine for weight gain. I’ve struggled with gaining weight all my life. The first couple days I was extremely tired but after 2-3 days that wore off. However, my appetite has increased. I’m literally always hungry! I’ve only been on this medication for a week & I've already gained 5 pounds. I swear none of this would’ve happened without this medication. My goal weight is now only about 15 pounds away!"
