"I've been taking this medication for about 2 weeks and I'm not sure if I've gained much but its definitely helping me eat more! I've been TOO skinny my entire life and I hate it! Just like fat people hate being fat and are sensitive when people point it out so are us bony people! Like I literally hate when people say do you eat much look how skinny you are and things like that! It's rude and I'm insecure about being this skinny! It's hard to gain weight and make myself eat! I don't have a eating disorder but I also don't have an appetite most of the time normally. But now that my doctor has prescribed me this its making me eat at least 3 meals a day and snacks in between. I weighed 112 and I'm 5'9. So you can imagine I'm very skinny and slinky. My boyfriend says to make small goals like 10-15 lbs but I want to gain 40-50 honestly. My "healthy weight would be 155. I can't wait to finally feel okay about myself again!"

"I have been thin my whole life as are my parents and sister who has had two children. I am 5'6 and about 92 lbs. I started Perfection again as I was on it last year in February for 1 month. I take 2 pills at night. You can definitely tell there is an increase in my appetite. My Doctor prescribed me 60 pills and two refills. I plan to gain at least 20 lbs. I will weigh myself at the end of April and May. I try to snack on peanuts and fruit throughout the day. I will return with results at the end of May. Wish me luck!"

"This medicine is a miracle I gained 10 pounds. This is what happened. My doctor took me off because medicaid don't pay for it anymore, so he just wrote the prescription and told me just to pay for it at the Pharmacy which was fine. It was when I got off them that I lost all my weight, which made me so mad. So I went to back to my doctor and he fixed the problem just by prescribing some more. I was down to 138lb now my weight agin has me at 143lb in two months by goal is 155lb. I'm 5'3 I hope everyone does good on their weight gain journey with cyproheptadine"

"I heard about this cyproheptadine 4mg pill in 2003, but no doctor would prescribed for me until now, I'm 5'2 and weighing 113 on and off. So I asked a new doctor for it and yes he prescribed it. I started 2/11/2016 at 113 now it 2/16/2016 weighing 120 I'm so happy. I was sleepy at first but it gets better over a week so not bad now. I love this pill!"

"I wanted to share my experience with Cyprohepatine. If you want to gain weight it really works, I have tried everything to try to gain weight, shakes, vitamins, etc. I have tried it and nothing worked. Until one day I found the answer-Cyprohepatine. If you are wondering like I was and asking does it really work. The answer is YES! YES! 117-124 pounds in one week ;) happy weight gaining."

"I've always been quite underweight and absolutely hated it, tried this years ago and quit a few pills in due to the tiredness caused. Gave it another shot 6 weeks ago and have gained a stone already (usually impossible!). I've been taking one a day which is a low dose and my appetite has easily doubled. I used to feel full half way through a meal and feel anxious going out for food in case I couldn't finish it. Definitely not a problem anymore. I've given it a 10 as it has made such a huge impact on my self esteem already, and unexpectedly resolved what I believe to be urticaria over night. The only downside is the tiredness; makes getting to sleep nice and easy but waking up is so difficult! Long way to go still, but very happy so far :)"

"I have always had a hard time gaining weight since I was a teenager. Nothing that I tried before worked BUT cyproheptadine. It took me years of research and I tried a few different methods, different diets etc... doctors would tell me that I was going to gain weight with age... but I absolutely hated the way my clothes looked on me and how skinny I was. One beautiful, happy , lucky day, lol, I saw a post online about cyproheptadine and decided to do a little research. I asked my primary doctor to prescribe it to me and she did. I gained about 15 pounds or more with this medication in just a few months. I was about 100 pounds and now I am at 123. I only take the medication if I feel that my appetite is poor... I just pop one of those. great!"

"I love this medicine. I had to take it while I was pregnant because I was not eating and I was losing weight. So this was a great booster.... Now I'm pregnant again and I'm looking forward to having this medicine again if needed.."

"I did use cyproheptadine for 5months. I was a 45kg skinny dude now I am 68kg. I did stop cyproheptadine for a while and my weight gain doesn't go away easy because its normal eating weight, I was very skinny now I am very muscular. I totally recommend it for skinny dudes but with gym training because weight gain is crazy with this pill ❤️"

I still weigh 140 lbs, and my husband says I look good. I'll tell anybody who wants to gain weight to get cyproheptadine syrup."

Periactin (cyproheptadine) "Asked my doc for prescription 5 weeks ago. I was shocked when I weighed myself. First month I gained 16 pounds. I had two kids both one year apart. Started losing weight like crazy. Too busy to eat. Well, it keeps you hungry. However, if you go out and buy protein bars and the weight gain shakes, they help fill you up. Ensure is good too. Also on depot so not sure which one makes me crave sweets. I'm suppose to be 150 I'm solid about 5'8. Went down to 118 within weeks. Perfect health just no appetite. The shakes are easy to make and buy some already cooked meals and lots of snacks. I thought my stomach was going to eat itself. I do recommend taking an allergy pill with drowsy affects at bedtime a week before you start. 140 last check"

"I have been tiny my entire life. In 2007 I had to have emergency surgery. Turned out I had a band around my intestines. I had abdominal surgery and appendix removed. The doctor said I was born with this band and that's why I was in a lot of pain, he also said that's why I was not able to gain weight because the band was wrapped around my intestines. It's been over 10 years and still haven't picked up weight. I recently had my first baby April 19th of this year. I gained 20lbs but lost it right after having him. I went to my OB for an appointment he said he was going to send me to a specialist but want me to start taking this medicine. I hope this helps because I am 34 years old and very underweight for my age and it's very annoying when people say "You mustn't eat." "How much you weight" so I will post my updates I just got medicine today."

"I was prescribed cyproheptadine for weight gain. I’ve struggled with gaining weight all my life. The first couple days I was extremely tired but after 2-3 days that wore off. However, my appetite has increased. I’m literally always hungry! I’ve only been on this medication for a week & I've already gained 5 pounds. I swear none of this would’ve happened without this medication. My goal weight is now only about 15 pounds away!"

Periactin (cyproheptadine) "Hi I had c diff a year ago and it made me lose so much weight ! I told the doctors I was unhappy with my weight and I couldn't eat due to stress . I got assigned these pills and I was only suppose to take 2 a day but my cousin was suppose to take 3 a day ? Well about two months later I gained 15 pounds , at first I couldn't tell just knew I was eating a lot more. Then slowly I noticed I gained weight: also in your belly area is the worst !!!!! But I'm going to start back taking the pills recently I stopped because I've been busy and was a good weight but now I'm unhappy again with my weight so 3 times a day I will take them!"

"My 17-year-old son was 5'8" and 106 pounds. In less than three months, he has increased his weight to 125! He looks amazing. Prescription was for 3x a day, but the weight gain he has achieved has been with 1 to 2 pills per day. We are both very happy with the results."

"I promised myself I would share my experience with this after I tried it. So here it goes.I grew up the skinny kid all through my life. I was in XC and track, and then I bought this stuff and let it sit on my shelf because the sleeping side effects were too strong. After a while I tried to give it another shot. I eventually got over the tired side effects and kept up with it. I put on weight so fast, it was scary. I went from 140 to an overweight 190 in a matter of months. I'm a 5'9 male and for the first time in my life people were calling me chubby and fat. If this is what your looking for, then you found it, but be careful of what you wish for. I can't fit into any of my clothes. My belly and face are so big now, I don't feel like my self"

"Hi everybody! I am the stalker who reads post for my own benefit, but rarely contribute. Today I decided it was time to give back in the form of sharing my experience. I have ALWAYS been a hard gainer. I've had four kids and still maintained a size zero (93lbs) weight at 5'1. After fighting to gain weight for the last two years I was up to 108lbs. Fast forward after having the flu followed by new braces which limited eating, I ended up 96lbs and fragile looking. I tried to gain it back but since I was a hard gainer I couldn't. Went to my doctor, got these pills after reading posts and gained 11lbs in ten days. From 96lbs on 5/1/16 to 107lbs on 5/11/16. Drowsy days 1-2 only. Now no sleepiness and mega apettite. 4mgs three times per day."

"yes the hype is true with this med for appetite increase(also used for allergies which works wonders) this will.. i repeat this medicine will make you sleepy, dizzy and a bit lazy the first few days...i would say give it a full week before the sleepiness becomes manageable i can recommend is taking 2mg then up the dose every few days **DO NOT take a full 4mg at first it will knock you on your butt (dissolving the tablet in juice or taking it with a full meal might help with the drowsiness) started this med at 100lbs 9 days later i'm at 108lbs i rate it a 9 and not a full 10 because of the extreme drowsiness/sleepiness in the beginning one last thing i recommend is to eat healthy foods to gain weight"
