Masked face and hoarseness of voice. His movements were rigid with slow gait. However, his cognitive was normal and he was able to run his own business. A diagnosis of TP was made. QTP was immediately stopped and he recovered from depression in two weeks with tianeptine SSRE-antidepressant ; 37.5 mg d, mianserin 30 mg d, lorazepam LZP ; 2 mg d. He also received trihexyphenidyl THP ; 4 mg d for his TP symptoms, which disappeared six months later without having levodopa. Case 2 A 28-year old man with mild anemia presented with symptoms of intermittent seizure-like Fig. 2, 3 ; , walking difficulty and repeated falls. At the age of 15 years, he was diagnosed as schizophrenia and was treated with haloperidol. He was hospitalized several times because of multiple suicidal attempts. Two years prior to the development of intermittent myoclonus seizure-like ; , he allegedly had ingested more than 150 mg of haloperidol. He was thought to have "conversion disorder" by several physicians due to the fluctuation of his abnormal movement. Laboratory data were normal except low MCV 78 fl normal range 80100 ; and MCH 26 pg normal range 27-34 ; . A diagnosis of TM was made by one of the authors DK ; . His movement disorders responded well to diazepam DZP ; 30 mg d, THP 8 mg d, CaCO3 3 gm d and his psychiatric symptoms also improved with lithium Li ; 900 mg d and clozapine CZP ; 12.5 mg d. He was able to drive his car, play football, and help with housework. His TM symptoms returned two years later when either calcium or lithium was stopped but responded within two days after these drugs were resumed. He was finally stabilized on these medications during a 5-year follow-up. Case 3 A 58-year old thin woman had a 30-year history of bipolar disorder with psychosis and she was treated with various AP drugs. She suffered from body twist, sustained seizure-like attacks when she was about to sleep and jerking of both arms and legs, which caused frequent falling for 2 years. She believed that these were "made action" or she was possessed. She presented with deep depression. She was mildly anemic and her blood test revealed hematocrit Hct ; of 36% normal range 37- 47 ; , MCV 65 fl, MCH 21.5 pg, and MCHC 31.7g dl. A diagnosis of TM was made and she was treated with Li 600 mg d, fluoxetine 20 mg d, venlafaxineXR 75 mg d, DZP 10 mg d, THP 2 mg d.

WFSBP Guidelines for Biological Treatment of Schizophrenia olanzapine to conventional agents, superior efficacy in clinical response, positive and negative symptoms, agitation and depression, and lower frequency of EPS were observed with olanzapine Bobes et al. 2003 ; . Patients with first-episode schizophrenia treated with clozapine yielded more rapid improvement and remission, demonstrated better improvement in clinical global impressions and showed a reduced EPS-rate compared to chlorpromazine Lieberman et al. 2003b ; . In a Cochrane Review including two RCTs Emsley et al. 1999; Sanger et al. 1999 ; the authors consistently found no superior efficacy of SGAs versus FGAs in first-episode schizophrenia, nevertheless lower EPS rates reduced use of anticholinergics ; were observed in patients treated with risperidone or olanzapine compared to haloperidol, and olanzapine revealed superior improvement in global psychopathology Rummel et al. 2003 ; . Another review suggested SGAs as first-line treatment for first-episode patients Bradford et al. 2003 ; . In a randomised double-blind study comparing olanzapine mean dose 15 mg day ; to risperidone mean dose 4 mg day ; no difference in efficacy on positive and negative symptoms, and in the frequency and severity of adverse events, could be detected van Bruggen et al. 2003 ; . In summary there is evidence for efficacy of FGAs particularly haloperidol, flupenthixol, pimozide, chlorpromazine, all Level C ; and SGAs particularly clozapine, Level C , olanzapine and risperidone, both Level B ; in the treatment of patients with firstepisode schizophrenia. General recommendations. In some recent guidelines, initial treatment is recommended in an outpatient or home setting if possible, because this approach can minimise trauma, disruption and anxiety for the patient and family, who are usually poorly informed about mental illness and have fears about and prejudices against inpatient psychiatric care NICE 2002; RANZCP 2003 ; . In other guidelines these benefits are weighed against the advantages of a hospital setting, which allows more careful monitoring of the psychotic symptoms as well as any side effects, including acute dystonia, akathisia or neuroleptic malignant syndrome arising from treatment with antipsychotic medications DGPPN 1998; APA 2004 ; . Inpatient care is required if there is a significant risk of self-harm or aggression, if the level of support in the community is insufficient, or if the crisis is too great for the family to manage, even with home-based support. Inpatient care should be provided in the least restrictive environment RANZCP 2003 ; . Unfortunately, the preceding recommendations can be followed only in an ideal situation. S.

In patients taking antipsychotics and in controls. They verified that increase in insulin resistance was strongly associated with increased adiposity. However, side effects on glucose metabolism cannot be completely explained by weight gain. According to FDA data, 25% of patients taking antipsychotics who developed DM did not present obesity or significant weight gain.14, 34 Howes et al., 35 in a 2.5-month follow-up of 20 schizophrenic patients taking clozapine, found significant increase in fasting glucose and glucose tolerance post-test, which were not correlated with increased BMI. Henderson et al.36 assessed 36 schizophrenic patients taking atypical antipsychotics, demonstrating that olanzapine and cllzapine cause resistance to insulin significantly higher than risperidone, despite absence of obese individuals in their sample. Other mechanisms should be implied in antipsychotic-induced metabolic disorders. Ardizzone et al.37 have demonstrated that clozapine, risperidone, fluphenazine, loxapine and amoxapine inhibit glucose transport in PC12 cells and in rat muscle cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Blockade of 5HT1A receptors in pancreatic islet cells and inhibition of insulin release by 2-adrenergic receptors have also been pointed as possible causes in this respect.15, 17 The hypothesis of an action on neurochemical or neurohormonal mechanisms that regulate glucose homeostasis has not been corroborated by recent studies. Howes et al.38 demonstrated that clozapime does not change serum levels of growth hormone GH ; , insulin-like growth factor-1 IGF-1 ; or insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 IGFBP-1 ; , which are all substances that affect glucose regulation. Blockade of hypothalamic dopaminergic receptors might be involved, since it has been demonstrated that bromocriptine, a dopaminergic agonist, reduces glucose levels in non-diabetic obese women.15 However, haloperidol, a potent D2 antagonist, does not induce significant hyperglycemia in rats, opposed to what occurs with clozapine, quetiapine and chlorpromazine.39 Mood stabilizers are not likely to have any direct effects on glucose metabolism; in case there are such effects, they would be secondary to weight gain.4, 20, 40.

A higher frequency of drug-induced sexual adverse events may be noted in clinical practice and coreg. They cause the release of another neurotransmitter called dopamine, which activates reward centres in the brain and this causes psychological dependence - cravings for the drug.
Whereas these data may appropriately lower the clinician's threshold to prescribe clozapine for the treatment of LID, the use of this agent must still be balanced by awareness of its relatively high side effect profile, including the rare, but potentially fatal, complication of agranulocytosis.3 However, as LID are potentially disabling for so many PD patients, this caveat should be considered a precaution, not a prohibition for the use of this otherwise useful medication.

Clozapine deaths O003-09 Nucleus accumbens core lesion produces persistent latent inhibition which is reversed by clozapine but not haloperidol Lee Zuckerman, University Ramat-Aviv, Neuroscience Psychology, 69978 Tel-Aviv, Israel, Email: leez post.tau.ac.il D. Joel, I. Weiner Latent inhibition LI ; refers to retarded conditioning to a stimulus as a consequence of its repeated inconsequential preexposure, and disrupted LI has been suggested to provide a model for the impaired capacity to ignore irrelevant stimuli in schizophrenia. The nucleus accumbens NAC ; is one of the major sites controlling LI. Objective: To show that 1. lesion to the core subregion of the NAC will produce perseveration of LI under conditions which disrupt LI in controls. 2. LI perseveration will be reversed by the atypical antipsychotic drug APD ; clozapine but not by the typical APD haloperidol. Methods: Core-lesioned or control rats were treated with either saline, haloperidol or clozapine, and were preexposed to 40 tones and conditioned with 5 tone-shock pairings. Results: Control rats did not show LI, whereas core-lesioned rats treated with saline or haloperidol persisted in showing LI. Lcozapine reversed persistence of LI, so that clozapine-treated core lesioned rats behaved like controls. Conclusions: Core lesion produces persistent LI which may model attentional perseveration documented in schizophrenia and thus provide a model of negative symptoms which is selectively reversed by atypical APDs.
