Hyperlipidemia antipsychotic drugs

Nevertheless, some atypical antipsychotic drugs, such as clozapine and olanzapine, have been linked to substantial weight gain, hyperlipidemia and type II diabetes, a new range of medically serious side-effects. 

Hyperlipidemia associated with antipsychotic drugs has been reviewed (SEDA-29, 64). Haloperidol and the atypical antipsychotic drugs ziprasidone, risperidone, and aripiprazole would be associated with lower risks of hyperlipidemia, whereas chlorpromazine, thioridazine, and the atypical drugs quetiapine, olanzapine, and clozapine would be associated with higher risks. However, severe clozapine-induced hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia has been reported in a patient taking clozapine (55).
