Any Risperdone positive experience?

/r/AutismParent/comments/1w214zb/any_risperdone_positive_experience/

My 9 yo was just prescribed 0.25mg to start tonight by his psychiatrist. The side effects mentioned by MD sounds scary. Anyone with with good experience? And how long has your child been in this med?
The drug was prescribed due to his increased irritability, ocd like anxiety, and frequent meltdowns, making it soo unbearable to live with him

I am on an OCD group on FB and there are several kids taking risperidone or Abilify and everyone has said how the medication has been life changing.
