Does anyone have any experience with this drug, Periactin
(cyproheptadine)? It's an antihistamine with
antiserotoninergic effects, which makes it an ideal appetite
stimulant.

I have just it for about a week, and already gained 2-3kg,
probably just fat though, but that doesn't bother me much.

O.S.S.

ANABOLIC EXTREME: Now that is what I wrote about Periactin in
a previous article. There have recently been many questions
asked about this product and I want to address this drug in
greater depth. First off, this drug is not scheduled or
controlled in anyway as it’s only really an anti-histamine.
Furthermore, because its used in the treatment of AIDS
(perhaps not clinically) some pharmacies in larger cities will
provide it without prescription…This means there is almost no
problem obtaining it domestically although you can freely
import it from SBC. Ok, now, because of the legal nature of
this drug I can comment personally it. I have taken periactin
and it knocked me on my ass. Plain and simple, this drug makes
you sleep like the dead. You will sleep at least 10 hours, if
not more, and the sleep is very deep. The hunger you feel with
periactin is very acute; it is a sharp almost painful feeling.
It takes a while for the appetite stimulating effects to kick
in from the periactin, I would estimate that after a few days
of steady use you will begin to experience increased appetite,
but I have found it takes at least seven days for the full
effects to set
OT.

Periactin may not be the best drug for of many people because
of the fatigue it causes. You could use stimulants like
ephedrine to keep alert but at the same time that would
suppress the hunger stimulating qualities of this drug.
Sleeping a lot is not a bad thing; the combination of
increased calories and lots of rest is the most crucial
component to muscular growth.

I think periactin would be of great use to younger athletes
who do not have the rigors of working a fulltime job, etc. If
I had a high school aged friend who wanted to put on 20 pounds
steroid-free I would suggest he start taking periactin since
the hunger and the sleep would produce a solid weight gain and
his schedule could accommodate the increased hours of sleep. I
am going to make a bold suggestion. If you have not used
anabolic steroids but still find yourself hitting a plateau at
a weight then use periactin, one pill a day is all you will
need. I think this will help you bust through that plateau
without resorting to steroids. I am not promising pure muscle
growth, but I am saying you will find your body putting on
more weight.

nothing to me except make me hungry and eat where as i would
eat maybe 1 sandwich a day and maybe not that. this drug is
great for that.

Periactin is the best pill that any scientist could of
invented. I have been using it for 9 years. It calms my nerve.
Take away my sress, and it makes me look thick and healthy.
Thank God for periactin.

I have been taken pericatin for a while now to increase my
appetite. I was always a very skinny kid. At the age of 24 I
was only 118 lbs & 5 foot 10. I have been taking pericatin on
& off for 6 years. (only 1 pill max per day) and have put on
almost 60 lbs. I am now a healthy 177 lbs & know that
pericatin is the main cause of the weight gain. I even have a
small beer belly. lol

I've been taking this medication for about a week now and in
my pamplet under side effects it doesn't say anything about
having trouble breathing and so far I've gained 8 lbs in 1
week. Sometimes my stomach is so full but my mind is telling
me that I'm still hungry. I can't believe they prescribe this
medication for kids. My doctor prescribed it for me because
I'm 5'9, 24yrs and 118 lbs. Very much underweight

ANABOLIC EXTREME:

Cyproheptadine (Periactin)

This is an antihistamine with anti-serotoninergic properties
used for the treatment of acute and chronic allergies. This
drug is also used as an anti-depressant and weight gain agent
for patients with anorexia nervosa. It is also speculated that
this drug increases growth hormone levels in the body; perhaps
as a function of increased sleep. This drug is extremely
potent. It drastically boosts your appetite and food intake.
It also makes you extremely sleepy, making it a very useful
nighttime drug if you have difficult with insomnia from high
levels of circulating testosterone. Athletes can expect to
gain weight even without AAS when using this drug.
