Dear thanks for the question.
Yes your concerns are true. percocet reduces appetite (hunger) which finally results in to weight loss.
Periactin on other hand will improve appetite, so it's a good alternative for percocet. However change the tablet after consulting doctor only.
I hope I have clarified your query. I would love to answer follow up queries if any, please rate my reply. Thank you.
