Urgent Cyproheptadine Help

[GreenEyedBlonde]

Would it make much of a difference if 0.5 once/day were taken 2-3x/week? It really helps with my severe insomnia. I’ve been off Valium for 4 mos. after taking it for at least 15 years for insomnia. I have been taking this dose of cypro for 6 mos. and would really hate to go back to the Valium. I’m hoping to use the cypro indefinitely unless there is a strong contraindication for this dose 2-3x/wk. Thanks for any guidance!

It raises prolactin. I think short term it lowers prolactin. But longer term raises it.

Annoying! I think I have read one report of someone taking Cypro long term with raised prolactin levels. Not sure what my other options are if I am taking it for mood benefits, but I must investigate.

Very interesting. Any idea what dosage/length of time it would take to start increasing prolactin rather than lowering it? Thanks!
