NO: Risperdal and Abilify (aripiprazole) are both atypical antipsychotic medications, but they are not the same. There are many different types of antipsychotic medications, and they have different side effect profiles. All have some type of dopamine-blocking activity though. http://tinyurl.com/crhreu7.
