A member asked:

Does seroquel (quetiapine) raise prolactin more than zyprexa?

Both relatively safe: Olanzapine-induced prolactin increase is always within normal range. On Risperidone and haloperidol therapy, prolactin serum concentration increases within a few hours after acute treatment, and remains permanently high during an extended period (up to 54 weeks for Risperidone and 52 for haldol.Seroquel (quetiapine) causes only mild transient hyperprolactinemia. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc2376090.

Actually opposite: Zyprexa (olanzapine) is a bit more likely to cause prolactinemia than seroquel (quetiapine) and both are more likely to cause it than Abilify (aripiprazole) that is far safer in many respects than zyprexa that is most likely to cause serious weight gain and diabetes. Risperdal (risperidone) is very most likely to cause prolactin increase. Ref: http://www.Jhasim.Com/files/articlefiles/pdf/xasim_i.
