Warfarin has been linked to a decrease in and even long-term remission of psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, preliminary research suggests.Warfarin for Long-term Psychosis Remission?
A study examining adults at an anticoagulation clinic for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) showed that 5 patients who also had schizophrenia and who received long-term treatment with warfarin for recurrent DVT achieved full psychosis remission. In addition, these patients remained free of any psychotropic medication for 2 to 11 years.
The investigators note that the underlying mechanism could be tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA), a protein that not only promotes the dissolution of blood clots but also plays a role in neurogenesis after severe stress.
