Naloxone-induced reduction of schizophrenic symptoms

H A Jørgensen et al. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 1982 May.

Abstract

A schizophrenic patient was repeatedly treated with intravenous naloxone 0.04 mg or saline in a double-blind design. The Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale was used to quantify the symptoms before and after each injection. Naloxone significantly reduced the symptoms temporarily, whereas saline was without effect.
