Does risperidone increase prolactin levels with quetiapine?

Does risperidone cause hyperprolactinemia in outpatients with schizophrenia?

Conclusion: Risperidone is a potent inducer of hyperprolactinemia in outpatients with schizophrenia in a community population. The higher and more frequently increased prolactin concentrations caused by risperidone could adversely affect patient health and compliance.

What is normal prolactin level after risperidone withdrawal?

A prolactin level was drawn five days after admission and was 124ng/mL (normal level 2.8–29.2ng/mL in women). Four weeks later, risperidone was decreased to 8mg/day. Three days after the dose of risperidone was reduced, a repeated prolactin measured 171.6ng/mL.
