I sustained a concussion in August 2016. My Neurologist prescribed me cyproheptadine. I have been taking it for 2 months. I noticed I have gained 40 pounds since I have been on the medication. I know the medication is also used if people are suffering from anorexia. I want to go off it. Will I lose the weight if I stop taking cyproheptadine? Also, can I quit cyproheptadine cold turkey?

Any time you are given a prescription you should research it on the internet as a matter of self defense. Got to google.com and type the name of the medication. You can follow the name with "side effects" or "lethal dose" or any special category you are interested in.
My mother was prescribed a medicated ointment, and when I checked I found out the side effect was loss of balance. You certainly don't want any medication like that!
I did but there is nothing
