Patients with a first-episode of schizophrenia were clinical evaluated by PANSS and prolactinemia was assesed. Patients were treated with risperidon. Risperidon in average dose lower than 4 mg significantly improved both positive and negative symptoms. At the end of acute treatment the average elevation of PRL levels almost doubled the baseline value.There was a trend among responders to return to their initial values during long-term therapy.
