Many patients will not develop these side effects, although there is still a significant possibility of risks associated with Antipsychotic usage. The percentage of patients affected by side effects like Tardive dyskinesia is significantly high and estimated to be a 20-50% prevalence. [1] [2]
Very common (>10% incidence) adverse effects include: Somnolence † (produces an intermediate degree of sedation compared to other atypical antipsychotics [4]) Akathisia † Fasting glucose increased † Nausea † Parkinsonism † Insomnia † † These are dose-dependent.
The primary sign of augmented renal clearance is an increase in the creatinine clearance well above that which would be considered normal. Commonly, ARC is defined as a creatinine clearance of greater than 130 mL/min, but the effects of increased clearance on therapy are not directly correlated to a specific number.
Drug-induced glomerular disease is not common but there are a few drugs that have been implicated. Glomerular lesions occur primarily through immune-mediated pathways rather than through direct drug toxicity. Heroin and Pamidronate are known to cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; Gold salts therapy can cause membranous nephropathy [4 ...
Very common adverse effects of olanzapine, occurring more than 10%, include: Weight gain (dose-dependent). Weight gain of over 7% of a person's initial body weight prior to treatment is in this category of very common too with some estimates of its incidence putting it at around 40.6%.
‡ Denotes side effects seen at the above frequency only in clinical trials done in people with soft tissue sarcomas ^ Usually occurs within the first 18 weeks of treatment. 39% of cases develop within the first 9 days of treatment.

The scarring of the small blood vessels, called capillary sclerosis, is the initial lesion of analgesic nephropathy. [7] Found in the renal pelvis, ureter, and capillaries supplying the nephrons, capillary sclerosis is thought to lead to renal papillary necrosis and, in turn, chronic interstitial nephritis.
