There are 2 switch possibities:
Number 1 (the general approach)
- Day 1: Switch to oral risperidone (or oral paliperidone): see this switch in the main cross table.
- Day 1-29: Maintain on oral risperidone (or oral paliperidone) and examine the effects.
- Day 30: stop oral risperidone (or oral paliperidone) and administer paliperidone-LA: see this switch in the main cross table.
Number 2 (if a patient in the past reacted well on risperidon or paliperidone(=9-OH-risperidone))
