Tish,
Yes, it was the Periactin. I've since switched to Ambien for sleep. Periactin did not increase my appetite, however, it did cause my weight to balloon, perhaps in combo with the other meds I take.
Two weeks ago, I quit taking Nortriptyline(after tapering) which caused my intellect to clear up and my appetite to increase due to increased metabolism. My weight is steady.
