Effect of methadone plus neuroleptics on treatment-resistant chronic paranoid schizophrenia
DA Brizer, N Hartman, J Sweeney and RB Millman
In a placebo-controlled single-crossover study, seven patients with
treatment-resistant chronic paranoid schizophrenia who received methadone
plus neuroleptic showed significant improvement. Methadone may be a useful
adjunctive treatment in a subpopulation of patients with chronic paranoid
schizophrenia.
