Is it worth while changing clinically stable schizophrenic out-patients with mild to moderate residual symptoms and/or side effects from conventional to atypical antipsychotics? A prospective, randomised study with olanzapine
Abstract
Fifty clinically stable, schizophrenic outpatients, suffering from residual schizophrenic symptoms and/or neurological side effects, were randomised to either continue their conventional neuroleptic(s) or change it to olanzapine. After 12 weeks patients on olanzapine exhibited significant improvement in neurological side effects and psychotic symptomatology as compared to patients on conventional antipsychotics.
