Hi J

In 'CATIE', discontinuation rates were 64% for Zyprexa, 75% for perphenazine, 82% for Seroquel, 74% for Risperdal, and 79% for Geodon. As you can see, less patients discontinued the high-potency neuroleptic perphenazine that Seroquel. In fact, more patients discontinued Seroquel than any of the other APs.
