I am taking periactin to increase my appetite because I fell like I am under weight, and cause me anxiety, so bad, specially in the night when I am going to sleep. But help me to gain weight. I am a person with Mitral Valve Prolapse and I am taking Toprol 25mg. and Elavil in the nights, but when I take periactin I do not take Elavil, so I don't know what to do, if keep going with the periactin or stop taking it.

Periactin Chemical Information
cyproheptadine hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt of a synthetic methyl-piperidine derivative with antihistaminic and anti-serotoninergic properties. Cyproheptadine competes with free histamine (HA) for binding at HA-receptor sites, thereby competitively antagonizing histamine stimulation of HA-receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, large blood vessels, and bronchial smooth muscle. This agent also competes with free serotonin for binding at serotonin receptor sites. Cyproheptadine exhibits anticholinergic and sedative properties and has been shown to stimulate appetite and weight gain. (NCI04)
