Weight gain associated with clozapine
S Cohen, J Chiles and A MacNaughton
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle.
Six of seven patients treated with clozapine gained 6-69 lb. Because of
clozapine's anticipated availability in the United States, clinicians
should be aware of this possible side effect, which, to the authors'
knowledge, has not been reported previously.
