> Racer: I have an rx for Periactin, but I haven't tried it yet because I haven't really known how to time it right. When is the best time to take the Periactin? Are there side effects? I have heard that it can make you very drowsy or dizzy...have you experienced this? Does it work with SSRIs with very long half-lives (Prozac)?
I tried periactin - which by the way is (or was - for me anyway) prescribed to relieve the side effects of the non-slow release formulation of Effexor (mostly for the headaches I think - as periactin is prescribed for vascular headaches - i was told it is also the antidote to o.d on effexor as well), it worked but made me sleep for four hours straight- this is from 11.30 am -3.30 pm!!!
