The effect of fluphenazine upon social and vocational functioning in remitted schizophrenics
Abstract
Thirty-six remitted schizophrenics who participated in an outpatient study of fluphenazine decanoate or oral fluphenazine vs placebo given for a year were examined for the effect of drug treatment upon social and vocational functioning. Only the period prior to any clinical relapse was evaluated. We found no difference between those on drug or placebo, and conclude that antipsychotic drugs, at least in the context of an aftercare clinic offering a rich spectrum of nonpharmacological services, and when combined with antiparkinson medication, do not interfere with social and vocational functioning.
