Utilisation de faibles posologies de bromocriptine dans la schizophrénie chronique résistante aux neuroleptiques. Une étude préliminaire.

摘要

In this work, we report the efficiency of bromocriptine (1.25 and 2.5 mg/day) in 9 neuroleptic resistant chronic schizophrenics. Following an initial four-week placebo period, the subjects successively received bromocriptine (1.25 mg/day), placebo and bromocriptine (2.5 mg/day). The 2 bromocriptine treatments significantly improved the global psychiatric symptomatology and different scores and factors related to the more specific schizophrenic symptomatology. An escape phenomenon seems to occur during the 4th week of the first bromocriptine treatment (1.25 mg/day) but is not observed with the second treatment (2.5 mg/day). All patients improved.
