Cyproheptadine is making me nervous the next day

[NatachaRose]

I have been taking 1mg of cyproheptadine before bed for 3 days in a row, and I definitely sleep better and have no bad dreams, which used to be the case. However, the next day, around 5 pm, I start to feel extremely nervous and very aggressive. Also, every morning, I notice dark circles around my eyes, which probably means this is impacting my liver negatively.
And I don’t know why I feel like this.
It seems to help so many people.
Any ideas?

Maybe the anti-cholinergic effect isn't working for you. You wouldn't be the only person to report possible liver or bile issues from it.

Thank you!

Would benadryl or chlorpheniramine be a good substitute?
I have Cypro (4mg), but haven't tried it yet, as I have been happy with the chlorpheniramine, relaxing and helps me sleep... which of the 3 is better for daily use?
I am still not sure if chlorpheniramine boosts serotonin or not... or if it has the same benefits as benadryl... ??
