Abstract

In a 2-3 yr open study 30 patients were treated with flupenthixol decanoate (depot form). These periodic and cyclic depressive patients had side effects during treatment with L salts. In comparison with the depressive and manic phases before the treatment, the prophylactic effect of flupenthixol decanoate on periodic and cyclic forms of depression was similar to the effect of Li salts.
