In reply to which anti-psychotic is less likely to cause eps, posted by borderliner21 on January 17, 2002, at 1:15:54
I have a decent answer to your question, and your concern about EPS is understandable.
_Olanzapine_
Olanzapine vs. Risperidone (http://www.vh.org/Providers/Conferences/CPS/04.html#OLANZAPINE):
"Finally, the adverse drug reactions favored olanzapine in that fewer patients experience extrapyramidal side effects, sexual dysfunction, and drooling."
_Quetiapine_
(http://www.vh.org/Providers/Conferences/CPS/04.html#QUETIAPINE):
"There was no difference between quetiapine and placebo treatment groups in the incidence of EPS in 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials using variable doses of quetiapine."
There was no difference between quetiapine and placebo treatment groups in the incidence of EPSE in 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials using variable doses of quetiapine.
