Periactin

[Lilly]

Thank you for your podcast. I use the antihistamine Periactin to control my migraines a little. I have guar gum daily as it reeks havoc with my insides (diarrhoea) Periactin has caused considerable weight gain.

I have also read the hormone repair manual and am taking magnesium and taurine (ethical nutrients). And migraine care (bioceuticals) I find some relief with all of these together but have not had any success without the periactin (2-3 migraines a week to 1-2 a fortnight).

Is there anything else I can do to mitigate the weight gain (I try to watch my diet ad exercise)

I now have a script for prometruim - wondering if this should be tried with or without the antihistamine? Thank you for all your work in this area. Lily.

Prometrium might help the migraines, in which case you might be able to stop the antihistamine. And yes, you can stay on the antihistamine while you try prometrium.
