Periactin (Cyproheptadine) question
I searched the forum and couldn't really find anything that exactly addressed my question, so forgive me if this has been covered. I just started being seen by a CF center and now I am on a lot of new medicines and treatments. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 30, so this is all a bit new for me. Anyway, they put me on Cyproheptadine to help with my weight and appetite. Today is my first day on it and I am am ready to fall asleep on my desk and I am super irritable. I am a teacher, so this combination makes work pretty unbearable. Does anyone have any input on how long that will last? Also, does it matter when I take it? I haven't felt any hungrier, but I need a nap and I am snapping at my students. I am hoping this won't last. Help!
