> The (generic) name of the drug is CYPROHEPTADINE, 4 mg tablets.Is this the same as Periactin?
Periactin has been used to suppress nightmares, including use with combat veterans with PTSD.
It is also sometimes used to counter the sexual side effects of SSRIs, but the only problem is timing it so you don't fall asleep too fast.
I think if the sleepiness lingers in the morning, I have heard that people just cut the dose.
