Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi ! I'm so glat that the periactin is working so well so soon! Sure gives me something to look forward to but I'll try not to be dissapointed if Olivia doesn't gain at first. We live in Canada and we can get Senokot at any pharmacy, since it's and herbal medicine you can find it in a lot of health food stores so I'd try to look there. Exlax is now making it's chocolate form from senokot and not the stuff that your bowel can get dependant on so maybe read the label and see if it would work. My last suggestion is that all states/provinces have different protocol when it comes to what's on the shelf and what's over the counter, maybe ask the pharmasist if it's over the counter if you haven't already. I really like the senokot also, she doesn't get any cramping, it works overnight, she loves the taste and it's not habit forming. Boy was that a plug for senokot or what!! they should pay me for this, lol!! I hope that you can find it (do a search for it even and see where they sell it) I'm sure that I will have more questions about the periactin, actually this stuff is called Cyproheptatine, the GI said that they don't make periactin any more but this is the generic version, I'm not too sure what that's all about but it's supposed to be the same.
