I don't know what exactly you're responding to, but here's something I do know: periactin is used in some cases to treat Cushing's Disease. That's not an opinion -- it's based on what medical professionals have been prescribing. The rationale behind it or the evidence they're basing it on, I couldn't say. I can only say that it's one of the drugs I know is being used in some cases. (I do know that when it is chosen, it's usually for economic reasons, since the other drugs are so much more expensive.)
