Cyproheptadine (periactin) antagonizes receptors

Posted by NickCave on August 15, 2009, at 7:09:29

Does cyproheptadine antagonize all serotonin receptors or just the 5-HT2 ones? I have looked and can't find an answer...

Thanks! I have started taking it for sleep and to combat sexual sides from lexapro. So far, sleep is good, but I am not sure how much it helps with sex.

I tried it many years ago for sexual dysfunction caused by ssri's but didn't have any luck with it :(
