Hi,
Ive used OTC Periactin and tried dosages ranging from 1mg up to 36mg in one day.
I chose to use it based on symptoms I had and felt that it would be beneficial. I used to be in a fog and had a hard time concentrating on achieving tasks and making decisions, unstable in my mind and reactive and felt to be in a high adrenaline/serotonin state, poor digestion and general unhealthy feeling most of my time from teenage years and 30 now.
Over the 12 months I feel the cyproheptadine had a big impact on my physiology in my mind and body I feel its helped my hair as I have a lot more hair now. I find it a lot easier to learn new things, recall and remember and take on difficult tasks and adapt well to challenging new environments and situations. I have clearer foresight into the future now and much improved at reflecting and assimilating past experiences.
I wouldn't recommend anyone take cyproheptadine because the first time I took it, I just took a 4mg tablet before bed (edgy) and became very sedated and was in a deep fog the next morning and was very hard to wake up and get moving, over the day the fog clears and start to feel better and definitely noticed the drop in dopamine though coffee and sugar help. Its a sort flat feeling, lack of motivation and inspiration, It takes about a week to get back to normal. Even 1mg dose came with the morning fog. I don't want to be responsible for people who sleep through the alarm and get fired by the boss especially if they have a highly cognitive demanding job, it would become challenging and prone to making mistakes in my opinion. I've used it to successfully sleep through long haul flights.
On the odd occasion I would take cyproheptadine and experience renewed joy of music which I feel when I don't enjoy music that its a sign of high stress/serotonin.
At times I would take 2-4mg a night for up to 3 months at a time and get used to the heaviness in the morning and endured with the anticipation of long term positive effects.
I don't think its a substance that can be evaluated on one or two doses but needs to be taken at low dosages for weeks/months to observe the subtle yet powerful effects.
I did put on some weight because it did make me very hungry (for candy) but previous to this I was under eating so I viewed it as a positive effect and now haven't taken it for a few months and I have become leaner. I think it would be helpful for someone who knows they lack appetite and needs to increase there caloric consumption. (if lack of appetite is from high stress hormones)
I had flu like symptoms at one stage and knew id be laid up for some time and decided to try a high dose of cyproheptadine to see what would happen and I ended up taking a 4mg tablet every few hours until I reached 36mg and I could hardly walk in a straight line, balance or think properly, kind of like being drunk and disassociated and would not recommend this and definitely not operate machinery like a motor vehicle or even a kettle.(in 48 hours I was fine)
On the digestion, it is robust now like I remember it from being a child, no pain, no tenderness upon palpation on the organs as was previously, no bloating, stomach is flat and no issues with wheat or dairy even mixed together, I can eat a McDonalds meal and am absolutely fine.
Overall taking cyproheptadine is an ordeal especially for 12 months with a few breaks of a week or so, its challenging but reflecting now after stopping its use for two months I feel it was highly worth it for me, it has improved my wellbeing and I don't know if I could have had so much positive change with just general diet changes in such a short period of time. I don't have any feelings to take it anymore at this time. I didn't intend on taking it for 12 months it just turned out that way and just started and just stopped randomly.
Thanks to member Raincoast for uploading the cyproheptadine patent application which I found very interesting and reposting it for anyone who is interested.
