For Anorexia "I took GML-apeti which has cyproheptadine in it, to gain weight. I gained about 35 pounds over a course of 3 years. I noticed when I’d miss a pill or two, I’d get dizzy and I was always tired on it. Then, once I stopped taking it completely, I couldn’t sleep. I woke up nauseous every morning, and now I have permanent dizziness which I believe is from taking that. I stopped over a month ago and I’m still sick. Ever since taking these pills I’ve developed horrible health conditions, and I lost almost all the weight I’ve gained. Don’t take this..."

For Anorexia "Been on cyproheptadine a week, 1st day was only sleeping every time I took a pill. Next day hunger struck, also was drinking loads more water. I've gained about 10 pounds in the last week, water weight and muscle fullness with 2 pounds of fat. Cons: - Anger has severely gone up ever since on this medication. - Nauseous from overeating. - Cannot sleep properly, makes me stop breathing on some occasions. - Depression and really dark thoughts have severely gone up."

For Anorexia "A few weeks ago I wasn't feeling well. I felt dizzy, faint, my stomach was hurting, nausea, and sweaty. After that day, I just couldn't eat anything. Days went on, and I would eat 4 spoons of applesauce for the whole day. The thought and smell of food made me feel nauseous, so I didn't eat. Because of that, I lost 10 lbs in 1 week. They gave me this medicine to take 3 times a day to get my appetite back. And it works!! It only took 2 days to start working for me. I finally can eat normally again."

For Failure to Thrive "Okay. I got prescribed this pill from my stomach doctor - cyclic vomiting syndrome. Months on months on months, I would wake up throwing up and nauseous as hell. I spent a whole year going to the emergency room in a panic. When I was prescribed this medicine, I stopped waking up sick every morning. Being sick every morning caused me to not be able to eat at all. I was 125 and ended up being 102... this medicine not only made me not wake up sick, it actually allowed me to eat every morning and all day like a normal person, and now I'm back up to 115... this medicine does take a couple weeks or maybe less, depending on your body... I took it right before bed every night, so it didn't affect my sleepiness, except for the first few weeks when I didn't want to wake up fast."

Cyproheptadine for Anorexia "So I have little to no appetite due to being on ADHD medications, I constantly feel nauseous and was unable to eat. This medication has saved my life. For the first time in years, I’ve been able to eat a full dinner."

For Anorexia "I started taking this well over a year ago, it's amazing! I've always been under my BMI weight. When I first started taking the syrup, I was 5'6" and weighed 6 pounds, 11 stone at the age of 22, after having my 1st baby. A year on, I weighed 8 st, but when I became pregnant, I started losing all my weight due to morning sickness. After 3 months of constant morning sickness, I decided to try and start taking Apetamin again! And it's fantastic. Not only is it completely helping me with my morning sickness, it's helping me put on weight and keep it on, which can only be a good thing for my baby. I hope this is helpful for any other pregnant mothers who are losing weight dramatically due to morning sickness, there is hope."
