A carbamazepine trial in chronic, treatment-refractory schizophrenia

J Sramek et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

Carbamazepine was given to 12 chronic, treatment-refractory schizophrenic patients for 5 weeks. No overall change was found, but four patients significantly improved while eight worsened. Given the paucity of successful treatments for refractory schizophrenia, further study of carbamazepine appears warranted.
