HELP ME GAIN WEIGHT FOR MY WEDDING!

Hello Dr,

 I'm in my late twenties but I look like a teenager. I'm 5ft 4 and I weigh 47kg  which is sickening. Some nurses and friends have suggested plenty pills like Rapidflox, Cypron, Cypri gold, Wate on, Super apetite, Fish oil, Doxycycline and so many others. But, I have been skeptical about getting any because I am health conscious and their side effects are scary. But lately I have decided to give some of the drugs a try and I started with Cypron but it was making me so drowsy that I had to stop. I bought a bottle of Wate on and I didn't see any changes so I didn't bother buying a second bottle. Last week, I gave Doxycycline a try but had to stop after 4 tablets because  it was giving me symptoms of flu and most times I felt like vomiting.
Please Dr,  I need a safe drug that can help me put on healthy weight fast. My target is 13kg in two months. My wedding is coming up soon and I don't want to look sick in my gown. Please, I'm tired of sitting through counseling with doctors who would recommend multivitamins. HELP ME, BIKO!

Thanks

Dear Nkiruka,

BIKO, Don't kill yourself. Yours is a petite figure. That is your nature; the way God created you. I doubt if there is much you can do to gain weight. Very likely, your husband to be loves you just the way you are. Your petite; portable figure may even be why he is attracted to you; only God and himself know. When you get pregnant and start making a family, you will obviously gain weight. Following advice from nurses who tell you what DRUGS  to use to gain weight is desperate and most unwise and unsafe. The DRUGS  are not manufactured to cause weight-gain but for some other things. Take Doxycycline for example. It is an antibiotic; broad-spectrum and is ABUSE  of drugs to say you want to use it t gain weight. You say you are health -conscious and want to gain weight in a healthy manner. I take that to mean that you do not want to add unnecessarily  to your problems. If that is so, PLEASE; BIKO;  drop all attempts to force weight gain by any means and learn to love yourself the way God Almighty created you. Beyond that is trouble that you will not like. We have said this many times before; particularly to many folks who want to use DEXACORTIN  to gain weight. Slow Poison!!
