Medication rxns are highly individual but I've heard parents report good results with Risperdal.  Outside of the weight gain, it seems to have fewer side effects, especially wild behavioral side effects, than many of the medications.  We refused it for my son too (wound up not using medications at that time instead) but after hearing more about it I'd probably feel more comfortable with it for a younger child than with most of the medications out there.

Let us know how it goes.
