This is just a report on my one week experimentation with cyproheptadine. I got some from all day chemist. It arrived last week. I started with 1/8 pill an worked up to 1 1/2. I had an overall feeling of well being at first and was pretty psyched about that. But I started noticing some issues around day 3. At that point I was at 1/2 pill so I thought increasing might help. Anyhow, it was sort of a hopeless feeling in the morning and I thought it might be the cyproheptadine leaving my body. Also, I was noticing slower intestinal motility. Another weird thing was the way I responded to coffee: I would feel this tightness in my head like my skin wasn't going to be able to accommodate a stretching that was happening. This was accompanied by a tightness in the jaw which was very uncomfortable. One of the reasons I was trying cyproheptadine was for TMJ. I found that it was worse on the cyproheptadine. Very strange. The other thing was that while it made me groggy my sleep was a bit fitful and dream filled. I also started to notice a puffiness in my face after about five days. This would last until early afternoon. Estrogen? Anyhow after my intestinal motility slowed to the point of one BM per day and I had put on six pounds in eight days I decided I wasn't ready for cyproheptadine! I've got 20 lbs yet to loose so that's not gonna fly! To be fair some of it was appetite but I think some of it was constipation too. I don't like the feeling of goin once a day. Very heavy feeling.
So last night I just skipped it. I knew I would get a headache if I didn't taper but I didn't mind too much. I slept deeply 15 hours and was relieved. I know Haidut calls it a wonder drug and I respect his opinion but it only left me wondering! Any thoughts?
