Risperdal is an excellent drug for anger management, however, the benefits will not become apparent for several weeks. Psychotherapy always helps.

Risperdal contains the active ingredient Risperidone, it is used to treat various mental health issues, and for its sedative like properties, so yes, it may help him a lot, with his anger issues.

Ref: Risperdal Information

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, drowsiness, somnolence, and weight changes.

Is he on any other medications?

What dosage did they put him on?
