“ Risperidone also reduced dose-dependently locomotor activity and limited access saccharin intake of the AA rats, indicating that its effect on ethanol drinking was not selective.”
“ Risperidone at 0.1 mg/kg given before four successive daily ethanol-drinking sessions significantly reduced the ethanol intake.”

“The lowest dose of risperidone (0.1 mg/kg) evoked marked inhibition of ethanol drinking, similar (slow onset, but long-lasting effect) to that produced by the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ritanserin, 1 mg/kg, SC.”
