Cypro seems to be making me feel better in some ways and worse in others. It doesn't seem like there could be enough starch in the pill to really effect me, could it be the cypro itself causing joint pain?
My guess is that the cortisol manufactured in your body, which was once masking pain and inflammation, is now lower due to the cyproheptadine.
Hmm I hope that's what it is! I seem to be jumpier though - my housemate just knocked on my door and I felt like my heart jumped, and my heart was beating fast for at least 2 minutes after. Wouldn't that be a sign of higher cortisol?
Cyproheptadine is putting your body in a position to raise metabolism. So just trust the changes you are experiencing. And that is high adrenaline if you feel your heart jumping. You may need clonidine.
