While you are figuring it all out....Periactin

[Guest guest]

I will leave the discussions up to others, but I did want to add

that.... sometimes some of us have RSS children who are in desperate

need of weight gain, and FAST!!!! Some may feel that Periactin's

remote possibilites of having an ingredient that may be " stressful "

to the body is bad, and this is a decision that every parent has to

make for their child (just as with GHT).

I would like to point out that some of us do not have time on our

hands - weight gain is needed immediately, and many have tried lots

of things. You can always try Periactin and if it doesn't work (or

try it until you figure out other options).... Our daughter gained

more than 3 pounds in her first 3 months on Periactin -

unfortunately, its ability as an allergy med/antihistamine wasn't as

great - as she would still get stuffies.

I also want to point out a miracle for us -- except for one rotovirus

and one cocksakie virus (spelling) - has not been sick this

year, this same year that she finally gained ELEVEN pounds and is in

the 25%'tile. No antibiotics for colds, ear infections, strep, or

any other bacteria!!!! We have simply been stunned!!!! We had always

been told that if she could gain some weight, her health would

improve, but boy are we shocked (and happy!) (Prior to her weight

gain, she averaged 4-5 colds/ear infections/strep a year).
