i was also on 10 mg every night before bedtime
and it made me lose so much weight. my neurologist said it was a very rare
side effect, i guess it has different effects on people. my doctor had me on different medications and the medication i am on now works for me. he has me on 4 mg of cyproheptadine. you could ask about that because i've been on it and so far it's been the best one for my headaches, but beware, even half of the pill (2mg) knocks you out (makes you tired).
