After experiencing horrible akathisia on .25 mg of Risperdal my pdoc explained to me that it was because Risperdal is approximately 100 times more potent than Seroquel (which I was also taking at the time). It is in the same class of strength as Haldol. Being a strong medicine the side effects are thus strong.
If you don't need the potency of Risperdal, there are other, milder atypical antipsychotics out there which should be able to control your symptoms.
