Effectiveness of switching from aripiprazole to ziprasidone in patients with schizophrenia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:BL-1020, a novel gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) ester of perphenazine, is a new oral antipsychotic with a strong affinity for dopamine and serotonin receptors. Unlike first- and second-generation antipsychotics, it has agonist activity at GABA(A). OBJECTIVE:This is the first study to examine tolerability an...
