Neurologic Side Effects in Neuroleptic-Naive Patients Treated with Haloperidol or Risperidone
Neurol 52:782-785, Rosebush,P.I.&Mazurek,M.F., 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The incidence and severity of dystonic reactions, akathisia, parkinsonism, and dyskinesia were comparable in the risperidone- and haloperidol-treated groups. The neurologic side effect profile of low-dose risperidone is comparable with that of haloperidol in patients receiving APDs for the first time. Risperidone may not be a useful alternative to typical APDs for patients with PD and psychosis.
