We sought to study the efficacy and tolerability of the adjunctive use of reboxetine in a cohort of schizophrenic patients with prominent depressive or negative symptoms.

All subjects received 4-8 mg of reboxetine/day while the antipsychotic medication (typical antipsychotics = 4; atypical antipsychotics = 12) was continued.

RESULTS: All subjects tolerated treatment with reboxetine. Adverse effects were mild and did not require discontinuation of reboxetine. All clinical scores (PANSS 93.1 vs. 63.1; CGI 5.4 vs. 4.1; HAMD 20.4 vs. 8.1; CDSS 12.5 vs. 4.6) improved significantly under adjunctive treatment with reboxetine (all P <0.01). CONCLUSION: The adjunctive use of reboxetine in schizophrenic patients was safe and well-tolerated.
