Hi there
You have landed on Health Central's anxiety site.
And the drug you have named, periactin, is a medication used to treaty hay fever and allergies. I don't know anything about it helping you gain weight.
Your best bet is to discuss your wish to gain weight with your doctor so that you can do this safely and under a physician's guidance.
Thank you for your question.
