cyproheptadine and Schizophrenia

cyproheptadine has been researched along with Schizophrenia in 13 studies

Cyproheptadine: A serotonin antagonist and a histamine H1 blocker used as antipruritic, appetite stimulant, antiallergic, and for the post-gastrectomy dumping syndrome, etc.
cyproheptadine : The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments. It is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia.

Schizophrenia: A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

( Akhondzadeh, S; Amini-Nooshabadi, H; Davari-Ashtiani, R; Mohammadi, MR, 1999)
"Cyproheptadine pretreatment was associated with erratic increases or decreases in the hGH response to apomorphine, but did not alter PRL levels or apomorphine-induced PRL suppression."5.26Neuroendocrine effects of apomorphine: characterization of response patterns and application to schizophrenia research.

"The objective of this study was to report the effect of the slow withdrawal of clozapine from 19 patients with neuroleptic-responsive schizophrenia at the end of a 2-year clinical trial of clozapine and to compare this with the results of naturalistic discontinuation of clozapine treatment in 64 neuroleptic-resistant schizophrenic patients."5.08Relapse following clozapine withdrawal: effect of neuroleptic drugs and cyproheptadine.
