Interventions/Control_1

(A) Dose increment to the maximum dose of the ongoing antipsychotic drug

(1) Phase-I (4 weeks)
olanzapine 20 mg/d or risperidone 6 mg/d

Other prescribed psychotropic drugs will be kept constant or could be only reduced as clinically appropriate. However, when clinically indicated, lorazepam, zolpidem, and biperiden are allowed to add on the regimen.

Interventions/Control_2

(B) Stay on the same dose

(1) Phase-I (4 weeks)
olanzapine 10 mg/d or risperidone 3 mg/d

Other prescribed psychotropic drugs will be kept constant or could be only reduced as clinically appropriate. However, when clinically indicated, lorazepam, zolpidem, and biperiden are allowed to add on the regimen.

(2) Phase-II (4 weeks)
olanzapine 20 mg/d or risperidone 6 mg/d

After subjects complete the phase-I, their assigned group will be revealed. Subjects who were assigned to the dose continuation group (Group B) in the Phase-I and failed to experience a >= 25% decrease in the PANSS will be included in Phase-II. The dose of olanzapine or risperidone will be increased to the maximum dose (i.e., olanzapine 20 mg/d; risperidone 6 mg/d) in an open-label fashion.

Also in this phase, other prescribed psychotropic drugs will be kept constant or could be only reduced as clinically appropriate. However, when clinically indicated, lorazepam, zolpidem, and biperiden are allowed to add on the regimen.
