BACKGROUND: Given growing concern about @entity1017 associated with treatment with antipsychotic agents, we performed a retrospective chart review of @entity1 who reversed @entity1017 associated with antipsychotic treatment to determine the prevalence of reversal and both the course and methods used. METHOD: Prevalence of @entity1017 reversal was determined by surveying clinicians. Of 53 @entity1 who gained >/= 20 lb (9 kg) during antipsychotic treatment, an initial sample of 12 @entity1 (23%) who subsequently lost >/= 10 lb (5 kg) was identified. These 12 @entity1 were combined with additional @entity1 , identified by the authors, who met the same criteria for reversal of antipsychotic-associated @entity1017 to form a total sample of 35 @entity1 . Course and methods of @entity353 were determined by reviewing these @entity1 ' charts. Information about interventions and both antipsychotic and other medications was collected. RESULTS: At the point of maximum @entity1017 , the total sample of 35 @entity1 had gained a mean of 29.36 kg (64.73 lb) over a mean of 33 months. At the point of greatest @entity353 (56 months), these @entity1 were a mean of 10.86 kg (23.94 lb) over their baseline weight. The most recent weight for @entity1 (63 months) indicated they were 14.81 kg (32.65 lb) over baseline. The most frequent @entity353 interventions were regular dietician visits (42.9% [N = 15]), self-directed diet (28.6% [N = 10]), and @entity353 as a treatment goal (25.7% [N = 9]). The least frequent interventions were no intervention (5.7% [N = 2]), psychiatrist addressing @entity353 (5.7% [N = 2]), and surgery (2.9% [N = 1]). No significant change in medications prescribed was found. CONCLUSION: Some @entity1 who gain weight while taking antipsychotic medications are able to stop gaining and lose weight over time, largely through behavioral interventions. While @entity1 ' weight fluctuated, this group sustained a loss of approximately half their initial gain. Dietary interventions appear promising and should be explored further to prevent and reverse @entity1017 .
