Abstract:
The role of risperidone in the management of treatment-resistant schizophrenia remains unclear. We describe two patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia characterized by unremitting delusions, thought disorder and self-neglect who had a sustained improvement in their symptoms soon after starting risperidone. Risperidone may be a suitable alternative to clozapine in some patients unresponsive to conventional antipsychotics.
