title: Clinical experience with risperidone.
abstract: Recent clinical experiences with risperidone including controlled trials, clinical observations, and reports of side effects are reviewed. The controlled trials indicate that risperidone is an effective anti-psychotic that may have advantages over conventional antipsychotics for treating both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. A number of clinical reports indicate that risperidone is also effective for psychotic illnesses that result from other disorders. Risperidone has a relatively mild side effect profile when compared with conventional antipsychotics.
