Brief Summary: The present study will specify and delineate the separate components of cognitive deficits and examine the effects of adjunctive cholinergic augmentation on these cognitive deficits as well as psychopathology in schizophrenic patients treated with an antipsychotic compound with no aberrant binding affinity for the cholinergic receptor system The hypothesis is that cholinergic augmentation using donepezil will improve cognitive deficits sensory gating deficits and psychopathology in schizophrenic patients treated with an atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone
Detailed Description: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of cholinergic augmentation of atypical antipsychotic medication on

Cognitive deficits
Sensorimotor gating
Psychopathology

The primary objective was to examine

The effects of donepezil compared to the effects of placebo on cognitive function sensorimotor gating and psychopathology in patients treated with an atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone

Secondary objectives are to examine

The effect of donepezil compared to the effects of placebo on cognitive function sensorimotor gating and psychopathology in patients treated with ziprasidone
Which specific areas of cognitive deficits benefit from cholinergic augmentation of atypical antipsychotic treatment
The interactions between cognitive deficits and psychopathology To what extent the effects of cholinergic augmentation on psychopathology sensorimotor gating and cognition are independent or correlated
Which specific brain areas are activated during cholinergic augmentation of treatment with an atypical antipsychotic drug ziprasidone

Participants Schizophrenic men and women between the ages 18 to 55 who meet the ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia living in the catchment area of the psychiatric departments of Bispebjerg University HospitalRigshospitalet or Psychiatric Center Glostrup Patients can be either unmedicated or need to be switched from other antipsychotic medications due to side-effects or lack of effect on negative symptoms positive symptoms or cognitive function Patients can be enrolled in the study as inpatients or outpatients and changes in hospitalization status during the trial are allowed Patients were stabilized on antipsychotic medication ziprasidone before they were randomized to treatment with either donepezil or placebo
