In de praktijk zijn de effecten van clozapine en risperidon vergeleken bij schizofrene patiënten die onvoldoende reageren op klassieke antipsychotica. Van de 25 op clozapine ingestelde patiënten gebruikte 63 procent na een half jaar nog medicatie. Bij driekwart van deze groep wend naast goede effecten op hallucinaties en wanen ook een gunstig effect op negatieve symptomen geconstateerd. Van de 25 op risperidon ingestelde patiënten gebruikte na een half jaar nog 54 procent medicatie. In tegenstelling tot tie clozapine-gebruikers werd er bij hen nauwelijks een duurzaam effect op negatieve symptomen gevonden. Wel werden relatief weinig bijwerkingen gemeld. Gezien de resultaten van dit onderzoek wordt een kritische houding ten aanzien van het gebruik van nieuwe antipsychotica aanbevolen.
In this study the treatment effects of either clozapine or risperidone in 50 neuroleptic-resistant schizophrenic patients were evaluated in an open clinical study. Out of all patients on clozapine 63% continued its use after half a year's treatment, attaining good antipsychotic effects. Beneficial effects on negative symptoms were perceived by 73% of this group. Much less effects on negative symptoms were found after 6 months’ treatment with risperidone. liven though 54% of the patients on risperidone continued their medication for at least half a year as well. Few side effects were noticed. In conclusion, a critical appraisal is recommended where the new generation of atypical antipsychotics is concerned.
