Abstract
Summary: Eleven schizophrenic and three manic patients were randomly administered 0.3 mg/Kg b.wt. of naloxone or placebo in a drug-free state using a double blind procedure. BPRS and CGI were employed for making periodic assessment of mental status; the MRS was additionally used for manic patients. The authors discuss their findings, which are essentially negative.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
