Abstract
A method of treating an episode of acute exacerbation of schizophrenia by intramuscular administration of a long-acting injectable depot composition containing risperidone is provided. The method provides a substantial reduction in PANSS (both positive and negative scales) and CGI-S scores within about eight days after administration of the composition and for up to at least four weeks. The method is used to treat a subject suffering a first-time episode of or a relapse of severe to moderate symptoms associated with schizophrenia. The method does not require loading doses of risperidone in the depot composition and does not require supplementation with oral risperidone after administration of the depot composition.
