Craig - Weight gain is a side effect of Risperdal, but it is usually not as bad as with Clozaril or Zyprexa. I seriously doubt you could gain enough weight in 2 days for it to be noticeable.

Also, trying to keep your weight down by skipping meals doesn't work. You should eat a fairly good meal in the morning to break the fast (breakfast) after a sleep, a moderate lunch and a light dinner. This gives your body energy throughout he day.

As well, some diet pills can counteract the effects of Risperdal, especially the prescription one. In my opinion, diet pills are 'always' a waste of money. The only way to control weight is through exercise and a good diet. You are also doomed by genetics. Look at your parents - that's you later in life. Sure, I could alter my looks with surgery (eg plastic surgery, liposuction), but I would still produce ugly kids - LOL.

The "tire" you are taking about is from age. In the last 2 years of intense (usually) karate training I went from 154 lbs to 185 lbs (& one belt notch). My middle may be bigger, but I can grab less of it. Maybe you extra weight is a result of more abdominal muscle (ie thicker).

Oh, and don't gouge it out with a spoon. Modify your vacuum cleaner with a larger engine, smaller hose, and a small guage needle. 8^)
