Schizophrenia therapy: the important of balance. Too often, neuroleptic therapy swings the mood of the schizophrenic patient too far. Withdrawn patients' moods can be raised so high they they become agitated; whilst agitated patients may sink so low that they become withdrawn. Experience shows that Piportil Depot treatment usually gets this critical balance right. Successful resocialization has been achieved even in patients who response poorly to other neuroleptics. Piportil Depot contributes to putting the patient back into everyday life in other ways, too. Thanks to its relative freedom from extra-pyramidal effects, and because injections need only be given every four weeks, patients hardly know they are being treated. |
