Abstract
- Early-onset schizophrenia is notorious for poor prognostication and treatment-refractoriness. Clozapine remains a viable option, albeit off-label, but is clearly underutilized in this population. Use is typically fraught with panoply of drastic side effects. Here, authors report on an adolescent case with schizophrenia that responded ultimately to clozapine. Add-on viloxazine was advantageous spanning different symptom domains, mitigating metabolic parameters and addressing clozapine-sialorrhea. This might open new venues for such complicated, yet commonplace, clinical scenarios.
