Abstract
The effectiveness of adding moclobemide to antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenic patients with prominent negative symptoms was examined. Eleven chronic schizophrenic patients had their regular antipsychotic treatment augmented by the addition of moclobemide 450 mg/day for 8 weeks. A significant improvement was seen on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) negative factor and for the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) scores, PANSS total score, PANSS general factor score and Hamilton Depression Scale scores. Positive symptoms were not altered. Moclobemide augmentation may ameliorate negative, depressive and general symptoms in schizophrenia.
