Weight gain among schizophrenic patients treated with clozapine

J S Lamberti et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1992 May.

Abstract

A retrospective chart review was used to assess weight changes in 36 chronic schizophrenic inpatients who were treated with clozapine after being treated with standard neuroleptics. The average weight gain during 6 months of clozapine treatment was 16.9 lb; 75.0% of the patients gained at least 10 lb. The results confirm previous findings of clozapine-associated weight gain.
