Re: How can I find periactin?

[Guest guest]

Hi Berra,

The generic name for Periactin is Cyproheptadine. Can you ask your

doctor for a perscription for the liquid form of Cyproheptadine. Here

in the USA it is a very old drug. It first came out in the 1950's.

There is a Dr. Wolman in Germany who has done a lot of work with RSS

and SGA children. I do not know exactly where he is. You know better

than I that Germany is a very big country.

He spoke at the Magic Convention here in the US about 3 years ago.

Maybe the Magic Foundation can help you locate him. He might be close

enough for you to go see him.

The Magic Foundation can be located at http:// www.magicfoundation.org

I hope this helps.

the Periactin. It does seem, though, that for it takes more

like 1 1/2 hours to set in??? I know that Autumn is a little younger

than , but I taught the sign for " eat " - she will sign

this to me when she is hungry - this has helped us with the " timing " .

Just an idea we have used that is finally paying off. also uses

the sign for " more " - again, another helpful tool at mealtime. I hope

the changes in the timing and dosage are beneficial to her. Keep me

posted. Jane, mom to - periactin, zantac
