Additionally, obesity and metabolic disturbances substantially complicate the selection and duration of trial of subsequent antipsychotic medications. This is most pronounced with respect to clozapine, wherein obesity and metabolic dysfunction now predominate and powerful influence the use of this drug as well as adjunctive therapies.
