To my knowledge, Periactin is prescribed for three things- allergies, low appetite, and migraines. It’s just a matter of having and/or convincingly pretending to have one of those three things, and then convincing the doctor to prescribe the specific medication instead of a different one for the same condition. Out of them, I think that migraines would probably be easiest to fake.
What I would recommend is that, whichever condition you have/are faking, you tell the doctor you heard of Periactin from a friend who took it for the same condition and was happy with the results. For example, “My friend Bob has migraines and he says that Periacrin has helped with them a lot without many side effects, so I would like to try it for my migraines, too.”
This may be best saved for a second visit unless the doctor brings medication up to you themself. What I would recommend is to first go and just say “I have migraines,” and then wait a while before going back and saying “My migraines are really bothering me and they won’t go away, so I asked people what helped them, and they said this medicine helped and I want to try it.” Be sure you’ve done research and know the symptoms of migraines accurately so you can convincingly say you have them.
Of course, if you actually do have one of the aforementioned conditions, you don’t need to lie. Just say you either are unhappy with your current medicine or want to start taking medicine when you haven’t before, and then say a friend recommended Periactin because it helped them.
