Clozapine Versus Risperidone in Treatment-Refractory Schizophrenia: Possible Impact of Dosing Strategies

;

J Clin Psychiatry 1999;60(7):487-488

Article Abstract

Letter to the Editor

Sir: We read with interest the recent article by Lindenmayer et al. concerning the comparison of clozapine versus risperidone in 35 treatment-refractory schizophrenic patients. In the 12-week open-label study, both medications were effective across a wide spectrum of psychopathologic measures, with clozapine being numerically superior to risperidone. In addition, clozapine was associated with fewer extrapyramidal side effects.

From the Editors

This conversation makes the case that a simple patient story, delivered well, might function as a real clinical intervention.
