Investigators prepare to recruit 30 schizophrenia patients in one year. Investigators will conduct a 8-week open label clinical trial for evaluation of the pharmacokinetic and safety of esomeprazole use for the schizophrenia. Investigators will give 40 mg/day esomeprazole in the first two weeks and 80 mg/day from the third week to the end of the trial. Investigators will check the area under the concentration of metabolites of esomeprazole on Day 1, Day 14 and Day 56 and the genotype of CYP2C19.
