In reply to Periactin and Prozac, posted by sabre on January 26, 2005, at 15:24:31
Well, since Prozac is a selective SEROTONIN reuptake inhibitor, and Periactin is a serotonin antagonist, I think you'd be wasting your time trying it. I've never really heard that Prozac had much effect on NE or GABA or DA, and the action of the Periactin would block the action of the Prozac, so you'd really be getting an anti-histamine.
I'm one of the lucky folks who finds that Periactin counters the sexual side effects from other anti-depressants, so I have taken it every so often for years now. I've also seen it used for other, non-allergy related disorders. It's a safe enough drug, but I don't think it would do what you're trying to do, whatever that is.
I'd advise talking to your doctor, and I wish you luck.
