My cousin has a 6 year old girl, that has been diagnosed with ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). Her doctor is wanting to start her on a drug called Risperdal. This drug is commonly used to treat Schizophrenia. She questioned the drug and the doctor said that it does help children that has been diagnosed with ODD. I was hoping that there may be some people on this website that has used this drug before. I was wanting to know about side effects and how your children have responded to this drug. Please share any information with me.

There is another website -- Daily Strength - that has a support group for ODD. I think many people on that site would have lots of input.
