  • Title: [Remission of schizophrenic psychosis with negative symptoms with risperidone].
    Author: Lübbe R.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1996 Feb 28; 114(6):35-6. PubMed ID: 8900527.
    Abstract:
    The appearence of extrapyramidal motor disorders and the inadequate response of the negative symptoms to classical neuroleptic treatment represent a serious impairment for the patient that make rehabilitation and reintegration into the work setting difficult or even impossible. Such patients can profit from a changeover to risperidone, which has a more favorable side effects profile and an appreciably better effect on the negative symptoms than classical neuroleptics. The therapeutic usefulness of risperidone treatment is illustrated by the case of a 27-year-old technician whose pronounced negative symptoms failed to respond to classical neuroleptic treatment.
