The answer to your question fairnymph is that periactin is also known as cyproheptadine hydrochloride. It is an antihistamine drug which should be used with caution by those using maoi medication.
If possible, reliable advice re drug interactions should be sought before taking anything with an maoi. Even more so if the maoi is not the only medication being taken regularly.
Recently there was a thread re grapefruit juice and its efect on meds, so just thought it might be useful to say that grapefruit juice and the antihistamine 'Terfenadine' or 'Triludan' should not be taken together. The grapefruit juice may inhibit metabolism of the terfenadine.
