red face is about histamine, if i'm right.

Kind of mild MDMA look.

Benefits? None. Sligt euphoria at first (placebo?) then nothing/or worse. I'd rather read Selegiline experiences.

Fox, doesnt all this things you mention involve 5ht-agonists???

We are talking about an antagonist

Cyproheptadine decreases serotonin in the brain, it is an 5ht1a,5ht2a,... Antagonist.

How should you get dilated pupils or an mdma like effect or a serotonin face with decreased serotonin??

Can someone else put this right?

Just try it out 8-) Take two pills (8mg) and tell me what do you feel (except sedation and hunger).

No I haven't tried Cyproheptadine, but I tried Mianserin which is similar in terms of serotonin receptor antagonism... Don't be shocked, you will get very drowsy, and be ready for 12 h+ of sleep...the reason for this is the strong H1 antagonism. Somewhere I read that a guy found it helpful for SSRI induced sexual dysfunction...

Cyproheptadine made my testicles bigger and looking pretty healthy, but no help on motivation, sexual arousal etc.

I've used it off and on but at longest for about 2 months, max dose i used was 8 mg/day. I think 0,5-1 mg is plenty, especially in the beginning, it can be very sedating.

Took a dose last night at 8pm and I'm still drowsy/dopey. Long term use might lead to your brain adjusting its receptors, but I also might lose my job if I take it for more than a week.
