[Use of benzodiazepines in schizophrenic psychoses]

The authors analyse the principal works of the literature, essentially controlled studies, about the efficacy of benzodiazepines in schizophrenic psychosis. The disparity of methods and results doesn't allow to confirm or not the antipsychotic efficacy of benzodiazepines. At the end of a study of six cases, the authors converge on the same conclusions and note an excellent tolerance of Diazepam prescribed with a posology of 300 to 500 mg a day.
