Depot neuroleptics are effective as long-term maintenance therapy in chronic schizophrenia and are widely used in Europe. In the United States, however, physicians have been reluctant to use them. They assume that depot neuroleptics present an increased risk of major side effects, that patients do not accept or tolerate them as well as oral agents, and that prescribing depot neuroleptics increases the possibility of medicolegal problems.
