    Cyproheptadine Help

    I have worked up to 2 mg Cypro - it is helping with allergies, sleep and I think digestion is improving but I think it is causing fluid retention (feet swelling and weight gain). Any dietary suggestions to offset this? More salt??? Any ideas why?

    Can Weight Gained From Cyproheptadine Ever Be Lost?

    I've been taking cypro for about a year and it really helped me. But it also made me gain weight. Not sure exactly how much as I don't weigh myself, but some pants are too snug to be able to wear. Is cypro weight gain really permanent? I know it says this on the bottle but is that really true...

    Serotonin Antagonists Extend Lifespan, SSRI Dramatically Shorten It

    This study looked specifically at mianserin, but did compare it to other drugs (including cyproheptadine). The conclusion was that mianserin and cyproheptadine extend lifespan by up to 30% by mimicking the effects of caloric restriction. Interestingly, mianserin increases appetite just like...

    Cyproheptadine Is Anti-inflammatory

    Another benefit to the long list of good effects of cyproheptadine, and a confirmation that serotonin contributes to the inflammatory response. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/412631 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2624123 "...Cyproheptadine, an anti-5-hydroxytryptamine drug, 20 mg/kg ip...

    Cyproheptadine Lowers Cortisol, Endorphins, HGH, Aldosterone

    Ray's last newsletter focused on endorphins and NO in various pathologies, including cancer. I don't need to mention that cortisol is also something you want to keep low. More importantly, it seems that serotonin is the cause behind Cushing disease and/or elevated cortisol levels (Cushingoid...

    Drug Interactions: Cyproheptadine And Propranolol ER?

    Is anyone aware of a potential reaction between these two medications? I'm taking the Propranolol to down regulate adrenaline and tolerate Cytomel better, so my body can begin to run on thyroid again. I'm taking Cyproheptadine for allergies. I'm noticing dizziness, headaches, etc. I'm...

    Benadryl And Cyproheptadine Protect From Endotoxin Poisoning

    Some people on the forum have posted that they have increased red blood count (RBC) on their lab tests. Other people chimed in that this may be due to high testosterone. However, after listening to one of Peat's interviews where he said that "anything that creates hypoxia will increase RBC" I...

    Cyproheptadine With LSD

    Hi, I am wondering whether anyone has ever taken cyproheptadine while taking LSD, or vice-versa. It looks like it would abort the effects, but possibly enhance them. Thanks! If anyone decides to go out and try this, please start with very little, such as a quarter milligram and a few dozen...

    Withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing Cyproheptadine

    As much as I loved the mood stabilizing effects from Cypro, I decided to go off it. I'd been taking tiny amounts of it for a month, then about a month ago I started increasing. I wanted to see if I could reduce diarrhea with it and also get allergy symptom relief. I was up to 8 - 11 mg. per...

    Liquid Cyproheptadine Ingredients?

    I bought cypro in liquid form which came with a tiny bottle of B12 from farmacia el nino. Both the cypro and B12 taste harsh, and seem to hurt my teeth. I want to consume the B12 sublingully, since B12 is poorly absorbed orally as opposed to holding it under the tongue. But I don't know why both...

    Liquid cyproheptadine

    Apparently there is only one brand of liquid cyproheptadine available in Canada... I just had the pharmacy special order it for me, and now that I get it home and read the ingredients label I'm a little concerned: Medicinal Ingredients: Each 5mL contains 2mg of Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride...

    Cyproheptadine, LSD-based Drugs Can Regenerate Damaged Liver

    I know some people here reported that they got elevated liver enzymes from taking cyproheptadine. The same happens sometimes with niacinamide. However, simply having elevated enzymes does not mean the liver is affected negatively, as Ray has told some people over email. That being said, a recent...

    More On Cyproheptadine

    This is a continuation on my posts about cyproheptadine. Given that this is an independent "confirmation" of Peat's views I thought that it warranted. Some guy filed and was granted a patent on using serotonin antagonists, and especially cyproheptadine for the treatment of cancer, AIDS...
