Gain weight: If BMI is less than 18 adding extra protein shakes and increasing amount of calories may help after ruling out medical or mental causes of weight loss. Appetite stimulants are prescription drugs and will help e.g Megace (megestrol) and Cyproheptadine

Cheer y'r uniqueness: Unless you are severely underweight, making you prone to medical complications, you shouldn't feel bad for being slim. While diet pills can help in reducing weights, there is no one pill to gain weight. Weight gain, if medically advisable, should be achieved by improving nutrition, mainly proteins, positive life style choices and regular exercise.
