I'm a female in my late 30's, I compare my frame to Jada Pinkett Smith. I've been taken Peractin 4mg since Feb. 2013. I weighed myself the first day I started taken the pills and I weighed 104 I weighed myself today cause I see changes and now I'm 120 finally. My doctor stated that I take them 3times a day I only take them twice in the morning and at night. You will be sleepy a lot and crave a lot...

I went through a period of time when I never felt hungry and therefore I didn't eat very much. My doctor prescribed Periactin to be taken before each meal and my appetite returned with a vengeance and everything I ate tasted so much better.

When I was in school I was not eating or sleeping due to stress from family, school and work.I told my doctor that I didn't want to take depression med so he gave me this pill and it really worked. The first couple of weeks all I did was sleep and eat but once my body got used to the medication I didnt get as tired easily. I gained 7 pounds in a week which is amazing for me because it is very hard for me to gain weight. I would advise that you take this pill with a meal because when you sleep it makes you have stomach pains once you wake up.Read More Read Less

I started taking this medication for my migranes. I get them almost every day and I can't function at all. So far it seems to be helping a lot. I've also started to gain weight, which is good. The only con is it does make me sleepy and it's hard to wake up in the morning.

My son who is 8 years old has been taking meds for ADHD and that had decreased his eating habit witch has made him lose tons of weight. I recently took him to a new dr because his old dr would not help and was not concerned about the weight loss. When I got to the dr she told me he was really thin. I explained to her what was going on and she told me she was going to give him periactin and to give it every night before bed. That night I started giving it to him and the next morning he was saying mommy I am so hungry. The periactin has helped him get his appetite back and my little boy is finally eating again. If it was not for this dr and for this medician my little boy would still not be eating. This medician is great.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed Periactin to gain weight. At that time my sex drive was also depleted, just by chance. Now my sex drive is wonderful. What great bonus!
