A member asked:
Will .5mg of risperidone cause more sedation than 50mg of seroquel (quetiapine)?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Unlikely: In my experience, I have not found that Risperidone is sedating at all with my patients. If i believe that an antipsychotic is appropriate, and I am also wanting to aid the patient's insomnia, seroquel (quetiapine) is usually my first choice.

No: It should definitely be considerably less sedating. Best wishes.

Sedation : Probably not since Risperdal is less sedative than seroquel (quetiapine).
