Abstract
Twenty-nine overweight schizophrenic patients maintained on depot neuroleptic injections who wished to lose weight took part in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 30 mg D-fenfluramine. All subjects received dietary advice. Sixteen patients completed the 12-week trial. Rate of weight loss was significantly greater in those taking D-fenfluramine. Side-effects were reported, but no deterioration in mental state was noted.Entities:
