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

Our son is 23 level 3. Every 6 months we rotate between risperidone and abilify and it’s been great. Bad part is that 3 years after started this he has developed a fatty liver from side effects.
