"Started cyproheptadine mid-September of 2019 at 97 lbs. Underweight for a 31-year-old woman. I’ve been small my whole life, but I am a very anxious person. So, this was a contributing factor. My doctor prescribed 4 mg 3 times a day. I started out with 1 pill a day and never increased because of how well it worked. The first week, it does make you very sleepy and even irritable. Well, it did with me. I pushed through because I needed to see if it worked. So my weight and dates. Started mid-September 2019 - 97 lbs. October 7th - 110 lbs, November 6th - 121.2 lbs. I was gaining pretty decent weight and now I’m 136-139 lbs, which is at my goal since I’m only 5’1. My weight does fluctuate by 5 lbs give or take just depending on how I’m feeling and eating. If I drop below 135, I just start it back and within a week and a half, I’m back to where I want to be. This medication does work, and it works well, the key is getting through the first week or two of side effects to allow your body to adjust."
