Just started Periactin 4mg, anyone have any tips or warnings?
I was prescribed Periactin for allergies, but after reading the side effects, I am a bit hesitant. It's great for congestion and sneezing, but now I am worried about the drowsiness, and some of the other possible effects that seem really scary. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you deal with the side effects? Any advice?

The liver problems are the scariest part to me. I would keep an eye out for any signs of that and talk to your doctor if you notice anything.
Has anyone else had a problem with weight gain? I've noticed a few pounds creeping on since I started this.
I think the drowsiness is overstated. I take it during the day and it doesn't affect me at all. YMMV though.
I've been on this for a while and it's been fine. I didn't get any of the serious side effects, just a bit of drowsiness.
I've had some weird side effects like hallucinations, but that could have been something else. I would talk to your doctor if you see anything unusual.
Be careful with the drowsiness. I had to switch to a different antihistamine because it was affecting my work performance.
You have to watch out for the allergic reactions. If you start to get hives or something, get to a doctor ASAP.
