it really depends. I think 5mgs is enough for schizophrenia treatment, so it probably blocks 60-70ish percent D2...with seroquel, you supposedly need to hit 150 before you get any effect on schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, although bipolar and some forms of depression/anxiety might get fixed earlier...
anyway...
seroquel will be more sedating, so if you need agitation control..it might be better. If you need antipsychotic meds for..psychosis..then you might need to up it a bit. Or you might be fine. There's really no good way to tell.
