West, are you on any other antidepressant?
Although cyproheptadine is a weaker antihistaminergic than amitriptyline, if it knocks you out, some titration might not be a bad idea. You should perhaps start out with half a pill rather than two pills.
Also, couldn't the depressive effect simply be a rebound effect? Why not continue taking the cyproheptadine in the daytime (slowly titrating up, if necessary)? Only then would you give the drug a fair chance, I suppose.
