title: Weight gain associated with clozapine.
abstract: 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.
