Clinical experience with risperidone.
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.
