On one of our rehabilitation wards, we observed several schizophrenic patients with therapy resistant hallucinations to exhibit complete recovery after being given fluphenazine (2-7.5 mg a day, orally); previously, they were found to be therapy resistant on other potent neuroleptics, including clozapine. It appears that in selected patients fluphenazine has a special antihallucinatory effect.
