is their a medication that you can take to gain weight?

Answer 1

no medications, just supplements. go to vitamin shoppe and check out the aisles for weight gaining and do it naturally. what used to work for me was a meatball Parmesan hero and a nutriment protein shake. but remember to still take your multi-vitamins also...

Answer 2

Try steroids. No, seriously. Perscription steroids like Prednisone will drastically increase your appetite. I've been put on steroids for very long stretches many times, and as a result I gain a lot of weight. I'm not sure if it's entirely healthy, though, because there are side effects that go along with them. I'm sure there's probably a safer alternative, I just wanted to throw my two bits in.

Answer 3

There is a medication, non prescription, brand name Periactin, chemical name Ciproheptadine. Used to increase appetite and most people gain weight on it. Was originally used for allergies but can help in migraine. It is not very famous but in sense amazing. No prescription needed in Canada.
Other medications cause weight gain but unfortunately is not a good way (like cortisone causing water retention.)
