This study aimed to examine the patients who used paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PP3M);. Twenty-one patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8 females and 13 males); were included in the study. The mean age was 40.90±10.98 years, the age of disorder onset was 18.47±3.64 years, the duration of paliperidone palmitate once-monthly formulation use was 12.38±14.68 months, the duration of PP3M use was 4.66±1.85 months. While 20 patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia, 1 male patient was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.
