hello user , The kind of symptoms that you are describing - if caused by antipsychotics are due to elevated prolactin levels - quitiapine is not commonly associated with raised prolactin as compared to resperidone , haloperidol, amisulpride etc. and drugs like quitiapine,aripiprazole are thus of use in such patients . hope i answered your query - if satisfied please rate the answer
I find this answer helpful
