Underweight

2018-02-20 17:21:04
Is there any pill or anything I can ask my doctor to prescribe me for to gain weight? I am 18 years old and have been underweight my whole life. I've been to my doctor about this years ago and all they told me was to drink milk. Now that I am 18, do I have more options?
