After one year neuroleptic maintenance treatment in patients with first episode schizophrenia, neuroleptic treatment will be continued vs. stepwise discontinued (randomized design) over a period of 1 year. Under both conditions pharmacologic early intervention strategies in case of early sign of relapse will be applied.
