The statistical analysis of the number of prescriptions and the used dosages of antipsychotics in the participating psychiatric hospitals of the AGATE working group from 1995 to 2003 shows a fundamental change for the benefit of newer, so called atypical antipsychotics but with broad differences between the single substances. Risperidone and olanzapine are in 2004 the most frequent prescribed antipsychotics, whereas quetiapine shows the greatest increase. An increasing count of prescribed newer antipsychotics goes along with a broad declining number of first generation antipsychotics. The prescription of low potency antipsychotics barely changed in the observed period. The average dosage of the listed substances corresponds basically with the dosages given in the ROTE LISTE (R) (a widely used German drug reference), whereas the maximum doses were partly considerably higher.
