Decreased Growth Hormone from Chronic Use
I don't know how to use Wikipedia so if someone could add this... it would be great!

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1971804

After chronic dosing of cyproheptadine (a rather high dose of 8-12mg for 5 days... typical doses are 2-4mg), it reduced growth hormone by over 50%. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.160.135 (talk) 20:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I have added the reference and data to the adverse effects section of the article. Quite an important side effect, thank you for bringing it to the attention of wikipedia. I don't know if you have a static ip address or not but if not click on the talk link on your above comment and you will find a welcome message from me with links on how to edit wikipedia. :)-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  22:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Use in cats
This was perscribed for my cat... i believe it is to stimulate appitite, I don't want to put it in and get yelled at for it, but if someone wants to make an edit to note that it is prescribed to animals too, that would help the article.

This has just been prescribed for my cat for the same condition - to stimulate appetite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.158.46 (talk) 17:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added this to the article. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Wording Clarification Needed
In the article it states "used in Serotonin Syndrome". This is an ambiguous and confusing statement at best. Is it used to treat, reverse or prevent Serotonin Syndrome, or is it used to create, or stimulate it? How is it used, and in what capacity with Serotonin Syndrome? Would appreciate some clarification there. B.Soto (talk) 11:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've reworded the statement and added a few references. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Psychotheraputic Use for Suppressing Nightmares
I am prescribed this drug to reduce frequency of nightmares. Is this a common enough use to merit inclusion in the article? 72.192.85.199 (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Not because you are prescribed it but yes because it has been published as being effective. If you can find a credible source for your data then you can add it along with the sourcce referenced. I found a several publications on cyproheptadine being prescribed in the treatment of nightmares.-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  23:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Removed from article

Use in Cyclical Vomiting
I am not a good editor and would be grateful if someone could add this citation so I don't make a mess of the page. This reference is very pertinent to the citation needed:

^ Li BU et al., "North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Consensus Statement on the Diagnosis and Management of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome". J Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 47 379-393 2008. Represents the official recommendations of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition for the diagnosis and management of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robindover (talk • contribs) 11:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Why depression not listed as side effect?
It would be the more logical and here is reported:
