Cyproheptadin (Periactin)- antiserotonin drugs & D

21 y/o F. 22 in a few days. Constant 24/7 headache for over two years. Too many health problems to count. I'll keep it short. I want to die. I've been in chronic pain for 3 years and I've beyond reached my limit. I had to drop out of school, I have almost no friends left, I only leave my house 2x a week for doc appts. I've tried everything. No relief.

My doc put me on a new med. Haven't been on anything for months. Cyproheptadine. Anti serotonin and anti histamine. Effective in allergies and migraines. I can't tell if I'm more depressed now because of the med or just a coincidence. I have major depression. What are the effects of anti serotonin drugs in depressed people? I tried 3 diff SSRIs in the past which contributed to my health issues. I am a poor serotonin transporter and never should've taken those drugs. Doctors ha e ruined my life. Does anyone take Cyproheptadine?

hang in there. i have been on over 30 psych meds. have chronic pain, alike you too many chronic probs. snri? maoi-there old but help some with difficult chemistry. neuro a good idea. lived with migraines in my youth. best bet is to see a psychiatrist. med specialists. and i would have a chat with your pharmacist. check out the chronic pain forum as well. many of us here on the depression forum live with chronic stuff, we get you. work with your limitations, not against them. meds are trial and error. all about management. pain, mental health, physical. keep strong.
