Adverse effects
Hazard ratios for development of diabetes mellitus:[3]
clozapine 1.57 quetiapine 1.20 olanzapine 1.15 respiridone 1.01
- increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis[20]
- use of antipsychotics (all types) associated with increased mortality in the elderly[4][5][7][13]
- risk of mortality may be least with risperidone[5];
- least with quetiapine[14]; however, quetiapine has not been shown effective in treating neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia[14]
- HR=1.5, number needed to harm = 83[13]
- mechanism of increased mortality unknown[13]
- see atypical antipsychotic for number needed to harm
- increased risk of mortality in Parkinson's disease (RR=2.35)[19]
- short term use of atypical antipsychotics associated with 3-5 fold risk of adverse event leading to hospitalization or death[7][8]
- increased risk of stroke in patients receiving any antipsychotic[6]
- RR 23% higher in demented vs non demented patients
- RR* = 2.3 atypical antipsychotics
- RR* = 1.7 conventional antipsychotics
- ventricular arrhythmias
- 2-fold increase of sudden cardiac death[10]
- weight gain, substantial[11]
- olanzapine > quetiapine > risperidone > aripiprazole
- 4.4-8.5 kg after 11 weeks of therapy
- melatonin 5 mg QD may attenuate weight gain[15]
- extrapyramidal symptoms
- see tardive dyskinesia for management of extrapyramidal symptoms
- risk of extrapyramidal signs in infants born to mothers taking antipsychotics in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy[12]
- urinary symptoms
- akathisia
- worsening of cognitive impairment[16]
- acute renal failure in the 1st few months of use in the elderly (1%, RR=1.6)[17]
- hypotension[17]
- increased risk of falls & fractures in the elderly, especially in the 1st 90 days[18]
