Patients had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related disorders (DSMIV) and with a BPRS score > 24.Patients were evaluated by means of the PANSS scale for symptomatology (Kay et al. 1986), the Clinical Global Impression, The UKU side effect rating scale (Lingjaerde et al. 1987), and the Tardive Dyskinesia AIMS scale (Guy et al. 1976).
