I have used all three, Ciproheptadine, (Periactin) ...Valuim and Winstrol,
Winstrol also improves the entire feeling of well being. But not
generally used just for appetite stimulation, does have a lot of long
term side effects,
I use Periactin and Valuim. I do tend to prefer the Periactin, I keep
the dose down to minimal effective dose and do not use too regularly,
Both Periactin and Valuim cause sleepiness, There seems to be more
problems with balance and coordination with the valuim.
those are my experiences,

I have had periactin prescribed for two cats recently. It increased
appetite in one but not the other. (It was prescribed for
congestion). I did not notice increased drowsiness in either, but I
suspect it has different effects on different cats.

Thank you both, Phaewryn and Belinda (Hi! Belinda, I remember
you well-you added Sam's name to the Rainbow Bridge list this past
July; thank you...)anyhow, .I am concerned that the periactin might
cause drowsiness,as some antihistimines do in people. Sam was on
winstrol for a long time for his appetite; it is an anabolic
steroid, and worked well. I frankly did not think about it for
Delilah before ordering the periactin............Helene

I've never tried periactin. I do believe that injected valium (I'm
pretty sure it's valium I am thinking of) is a great appetite
stimulant, but... it's an injection, so it's something you have to
go to the vet for, thus, not good for anything long term. I do think
you should try it, you don't really have anything to lose. The next
step would be either syringe feeding or tube feeding.

The easy way out has a bad reputation.
Why would anyone take the hard way out?
