Is there a drug I can take to gain weight?
- beAbU 1y agoIce cream and cheese
- tortilla 1y agomj
- astrange 1y agoFun fact: eating a bunch of black pepper cancels that out.
- ggsp 1y ago[flagged]
- astrange 1y agoI meant it cancels out the effect of THC. Which is handy if you've taken an edible and are getting tired of it. But yes, that too.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> when fed into an LLM, gave me the following information (edited for brevity and clarity). Please note that I did not verify any of the LLM's claims Please don’t do this.
- eru 1y agoWhat's mj?
- tortilla 1y agoSorry was lazy with the typing last night. mary jane, marijuana, wacky-tobacky, pot, weed...
- andsoitis 1y agoWeight from muscle? Or from fat?
- aorloff 1y agoIts called sugar
- ducksinhats 1y agoI don't want you to consider it among the flippant replies here but definitely alcohol will work up to a point, it's somewhat of a contradiction though because severe alcoholics are usually quite malnourished and thin.
- eru 1y agoAlcohol itself has a lot of calories. Or does it cause even more appetite in addition?
- throwup238 1y agoAntipsychotics tend to do the trick.
- jstummbillig 1y agoGaining weight works by putting more fuel into your body than you use. That's physically the only way, there is no way to synthesize energy. Because of caloric density limits, there is no substitute for putting a certain amount of stuff in your body. A pill can physically not contain enough calories. There are options around that, but that depends on what's driving your personal energy deficit. What's the job that the weight gain intervention needs to do for you, that whatever you try to eat right now does not? What's motivating your current diet? Are you for example disgusted by swallowing anything at all? Are you more partial to liquids than whole foods? Do you dislike sugar in particular?
- eru 1y ago> A pill can physically not contain enough calories. No, but a pill can make you want to eat more or fidget less etc.
- zosima 1y agoYou have so much choice: For the pure fat experience I suggest corticosteroids, lithium or a random antipsychotic. Insulin is also very useful here, but a tad dangerous. If it has to be muscle mass, then anabolic steroids of course are preferable. But beta adrenergic agonists like clenbuterol also seem to have some effect. And there are many more.
- DontchaKnowit 1y agoCorticosteroids are also pretty damn dangerous
- zosima 1y agoThey all have uncomfortable side effects, especially the fatty-inducing ones. But insulin stands out for being able to kill you very quickly from a moderate overdose.
- DontchaKnowit 1y agoWell corticosteroid withdrawal will kill you also, or ruin your life if you fuck up and dont taper off quick enough.
- astura 1y agoSteroids and antipsychotics usually cause massive weight gain.
