I think this is probably a warning that was applied to other antihistamines with effects on monoamine uptake, but would not occur with cyproheptadine.
I agree that certain antihisamines like benydryl or chlorpeniramine with measurable effect on serotonin uptake should not be combined with MAOI's, but I don't think cyproheptadine would pose a problem as it has no effect on monamine uptake.
It is a serotonin antagonist that is often used to treat serotonin syndrome, should it occur.
I am not saying this is the final answer, but I think it was probably a carryover warning from other antihisamines.
