Abstract

This multicenter trial indicates that risperidone is an effective treatment for the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The most effective dose appears to be about 6 mg of risperidone daily. This dose was more effective than 20 mg of haloperidol. In addition, this dose was associated with very low rates of extrapyramidal side effects.
