Re: Question if someone can answer

Hi ,

We started on 3.3 ml Periactin twice a day in May 1999. We saw his

appetite increase within 2 days. Within 3 months, he went from below the 5th%

weight to the 5th%. If you had asked me to measure the amount of food he ate,

it would have been difficult to guage...All we know, is that for the first time,

he started picking up a fork on his own and eating.

Good luck!

I had a gastro guy do it definitely. I haven't tried Periactin. Are there

risks involved?
