Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
There is no exact equivalency between the doses of these medications. Sertindole is typically effective at doses between 12mg and 20mg daily, whereas risperidone is typically effective at doses between 2mg and 8mg daily. A rough translation of sertindole 16mg would be risperidone 4mg daily.
The amount of sedation with risperidone and amisulpride is basically the same.
