Phenothiazine drugs were withdrawn from 17 chronic schizophrenic inpatients, with a control group of 14 patients remaining on active medication. The trial was conducted under double-blind conditions for 42 wks with weekly assessment of the patients by ward nurses. Of the placebo group 35% relapsed, relapse being related to the level of previous active medication. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
