Lifestyle tips

I've seen stories in passing about the supplement Apetamin and a lot of people say it seems to work for them. I've also seen articles saying its illegal to buy in the US. Does anyone have any deeper knowledge about Apetamin, its actual effects and how to find some/ find a substitute?

It's Cyproheptidine, a common (but old) antihistamine. It's prescription-only in the US, but here in the UK, we can buy it OTC. I've Apetamin and Tres Orix Forte (another brand, same thing) listed on Amazon Marketplace and eBay in the past.

I've experimented with it. You have to stick with it to get beyond the drowsiness (two to three days). In my experience it's very, very effective at boosting appetite.

Awesome, thank you!

If you can get past the sleepiness it works pretty well but it's literally the lysine that does most of the work

I tried cyproheptadine but, aside from temporary sleepiness, I didn't notice a change in my appetite.
