[Clinical experiences with depot neuroleptics].

Starting out from an assessment of the course of the disease in the case of 27 patients with acute or sub-acute schizophrenia, and 9 suffering from a paraphrenia and 6 patients with paranoic atypical psychoses, an attitude was established with regard to the therapeutic effectiveness of Fluphenazin-Dekanoat, Fluphenazin-Oenanthat and Flupenathixol-Dekanoat. No important distinctions between the combinations appeared. Long-term treatment with depot neuroleptica proved itself a suitable and valuable addition to anti-psychotic therapy. In the case of several patients uninterrupted remissions lasting over 3 years were achieved.
