For Anorexia "This medicine is exceptional! I see many people saying they gained 1-5 lbs. I took it faithfully three times a day, and would you believe I moved up from a 7/8 to a 9/10 and put on about 22 lbs within only 4 weeks. I stopped for about 2 weeks, lost about 6 lbs (mainly stress), but I'm back on them and sleeping a little more. It only took about 2-3 weeks for my body to get used to them. If you wish to gain weight, try this! You will cry tears of joy. I was struggling with weight gain for about 5 years!"

For Anorexia "I have been looking for a long time for a pill that would help me gain weight. It's not like I was unhappy with the way I look, but I just wanted to add some curves. My daughter has been taking the pill and she was a lot smaller than me, and she is looking great now. It does make you a little sleepy at first, but your body will start to get adjusted to it. I highly recommend this pill for weight gain. I just love it, and one pill a day will do the trick!"

For Anorexia "On Periactin (cyproheptadine) pills 3X per day since 11/22/15. Since then, I have gained 22 pounds as of 12/13/15. These pills work wonders for people with poor appetite and eating habits. Being small most of my life, I never thought it was possible for me to get over 110 pounds, but these pills had me eating whole cakes in one day. I'm so serious! I eat two Big Macs instead of one with extra Mac sauce, just everything and a lot of it. I'm loving the way this 132 looks on me at 5'3"."

For Anorexia "I am 5'7'' weigh 109 lbs and had three kids over 8 lbs. I am anorexic and had been doing everything to maintain a healthy weight. When I started taking Periactin (cyproheptadine), I was gaining 1-2 lbs a day. The only problem is that 3/4 of my day I was sleeping, had dry mouth and very bad mood swings. Due to my heavy work schedule, it was hard to continue taking the pills. When I stopped, I lost the weight as quickly as I gained it. 4 days ago I started taking it again and gained 5 lbs. This time once I reach my target weight of 130, I will set aside a meal plan to maintain this weight in addition to taking only 2 pills a week. I would highly recommend this medication to anyone who suffers from anorexia or has no appetite."

For Anorexia "This is simply something magical! I've been underweight naturally since childhood, always hearing 'you should eat more,' although I really had a good appetite. I can't even wear the clothes I want as I feel so bad to see my skinny legs and hands, etc. I sat at night and thought about what else I could try to put on weight, as protein milkshakes and squats didn't work for me. I googled Periactin, ordered online from Weldricks (UK), and I want to cry and scream to the world how happy I am! Using it for two weeks, 1 tablet before bedtime - gained 4kgs, never had this weight before! I eat around 3000-4000 kcals a day. It also makes me feel really sleepy and tired, but it means nothing when you see those amazing numbers on the scales."

For Anorexia "I decided to try this to put on weight. It's only the second day and I've noticed an extreme increase in appetite!!! The only bad thing is it makes me so tired. Does anyone else get this? Shall I take it before bed then?"

For Anorexia "I am a retired physician who, during the course of his practice, treated many patients with severe anorexia secondary to HIV/AIDS as well as near end-stage malignancies. For many years, I prescribed Periactin starting with the 2mg dose 1/2 to one hour before mealtime. Many patients reported a robust weight gain. The hypersomnolence (excessive sleepiness) disappeared after one to three months. The Periactin can be reduced to one 2mg every third day, and the weight usually is maintained at good if not optimal levels."

For Anorexia "All my life, I have struggled to gain or maintain my weight. There are periods when I have no appetite. I can go for days without eating and not feel hungry. This medication has been a godsend. At first, the drowsiness was almost debilitating. After reaching my desired weight, I found that reducing the dose to 1/4 tablet per day maintained it without the side effects. My son suffers from the same issue, and he is now taking it too. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to gain weight."

For Anorexia "Periactin (Cyproheptadine) is amazing for weight gain! I gained so much weight and I looked amazing, however, there were three side effects: 1) I slept like a bear, I was always tired, 2) I had really bad mood swings, and I was like a zombie, 3) dry nose bleeds. However, I reduced the dosage from 2 tablets (one in the morning, one at night) to one a day and I felt much better. I recommend you take multivitamins and do lots of exercise. The results were quick and amazing. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to gain weight."

For Anorexia "I. Take this medicine every time I have a poor appetite and it works wonders! I have always struggled with gaining and maintaining weight all my life! Got teased a lot! I have gained as much as 35 pounds in a month and a half! I recently just started back taking due to foot surgery and being on narcotic pain pills that stripped my appetite! The great thing about them is the weight and appetite stays even once you stop taking them! Highly recommend"

For Anorexia "I am 5'8, and when I started taking those pills, cyproheptadine (Periactin), I was 115. My doctor gave me the prescription on a Monday and told me to take them and come back on the following Monday. I took one each day for that week, and when I went back to my doctor, I weighed 130. He said that this was impossible. He thought the scale had broken, lol. I was extremely excited. I would most definitely 100% recommend it."

For Anorexia "I take it once a day, and been on it for 2 weeks and already gained 4 lbs. I feel a lot better and can tell the difference. For the first week, I felt like a zombie, but once in my system, the zombie feeling is gone. I recommend this to anyone who wants to gain weight and be healthy."

For Anorexia "I've had problems with my weight all my life due to depression and anxiety. I would literally go days without eating. I started taking Periactin about a year ago and it worked great! I ate multiple times throughout the day. I stopped and lost all of the weight I gained. I started taking them again 2 weeks ago and I've gained over 10 pounds already. I get sleepy but it's tolerable."

For Anorexia "I've always been underweight, and I had a weak appetite and always struggled to gain any weight. I was 24 and still weighed 90 lbs. I was depressed about my weight, but after being prescribed Periactin, I gained over 15 lbs in 2 months and I feel great! I have never weighed over 100 lbs in my entire life. It really works!"

For Anorexia "I've always been very thin, and I disliked the way I looked in the mirror for years. Then 3 years ago, my mom introduced me to this medicine, it worked wonders for my body. It stimulated my appetite, made me sleepy, which was good since I had problems sleeping, and this medicine changed the way I looked. I was curvy and attractive. I took one pill every day or sometimes every other day, and I moved from a size 0 to a beautiful size 6, and I was very happy with myself. The sad thing is I'm in China for one year doing my postgraduate degree, and the stresses of being here have pulled my weight down to 8 kgs less than where it was when I first came here."

For Anorexia "Was very underweight for my age. Started taking these to help with it and be healthier. I was 102, and I went to 158 in about 2 months. It's been almost a year, and I chose to lose some of the weight, and I'm down 8 lbs, but weight still here. I have a lot of curves now. Side effects are sleepiness, but I started cutting my pills in half, and that helped a lot. I would take half a pill every 2 hours, taking 2 pills a day, and then cut back to one whole pill a day after weight started coming on fast."

For Anorexia "Really WOW! I've taken this 'Periactin / Cyproheptadine / Cyproheptadine' and I managed to gain 20 kg in 2 months! I was skinny, 57 kg, and I'm now 77 kg! I can take it when my weight drops a bit and it works wonders. Really, if you struggle to gain weight or appetite, try this tab. It's unbelievable!"

For Anorexia "I have struggled keeping on weight all my life. I used to buy it in my country, it works like wonders. Since moving to the UK, I was unable to find it. Last week, I found it in a pharmacy, and I have stocked up on it like I am preparing for World War Three."

For Anorexia "I have always been thin my whole life & tried everything to gain weight. I hate skinny jokes. Still at the age of 31, and you would think 5 kids would have given me some weight, smh. No. So I asked my doctor to prescribe me something. So far, I've been using them for 2 weeks now and I've gone from 100 to 112. I'm supposed to take one at bedtime, but I take them 2-3 times a day, and it literally increases my appetite, which I barely had before. I'm hungry all the time, especially when I wake up in the morning and after dinner. It's a must for a late-night snack or mini meal. I'm really satisfied with my results, my only complaint would be the sleeping too much. I had to start taking half and half of the 4mg because they knock you out for hours. Hope this helps :-)"

For Anorexia "I started taking this medication. I was 88 pounds, 5'3", and sickly looking. People thought I was on drugs. I had no appetite and hated how my clothes looked! Taking this medicine, I am now 130 pounds and eat like a horse. I gained weight really fast too!! It doesn't make me tired, but my tolerance is high. I'm prescribed medical marijuana as well, which is a help also! I recommend both and CBDs."

For Anorexia "I'm a hard gainer - I have always struggled putting on weight and even struggled to ever feel hungry. I've been taking Periactin for 6 weeks now and I can happily say for the first time in my life I've put on weight! I've put on exactly 6kgs; so it appears I gain about a kg a week, which I'm completely excited about - doesn't sound a lot to most people but any hard gainers out there will know what I'm talking about :) Give it a go - it's worth it :)"

For Anorexia "I have been wanting to gain weight for over ten years. I have a really hard time eating. It's like a chore for me to force myself to eat, and I get full really quickly. Everyone tells me I'm too thin all the time, and mass shakes make me want to puke because they're too sweet and thick. So I've been underweight most of my life. I searched the Internet, and about two weeks ago, I found reviews for Periactin and got really excited to try it. So I got it prescribed right away and have been on it for a week now. I've gained 10 lbs already! This is a miracle! I felt a tiny bit sleepy the first two days, but I've always felt tired from lack of nutrition, so it wasn't much of a difference. I'm so excited to keep gaining!"

For Anorexia "It is phenomenal! I put on weight fast. You start to see and feel results so quickly! It's a very motivating feeling! I have gained 14 pounds so far since late March, early April. I'm 5'6. I started at 146. I am now 160. My goal weight is 175. I think that will give me the full-figured, curvy look I want. If you're serious about your weight, this is the solution! Good luck!"

For Anorexia "This medication is phenomenal! I'm 11, and I was only about 81 pounds, which was a problem for me. But then my doctor prescribed me this pill, and it totally changed my life! In about 4 weeks, I was 90 pounds... I was so happy! I definitely recommend this pill if you are trying to gain weight. Although it will make you sleepy, it's still very helpful because I do have trouble going to sleep at night! I am in love with this pill, and it has definitely changed my life!"

For Migraine "This medication has virtually eliminated my 12-year-old son's (almost daily) migraine headaches. He has had no significant side effects and it has greatly increased his quality of life and ability to succeed in school."
