The slow initial titration may delay the onset of efficacy associated with a therapeutic dose level. Compared with placebo, the most commonly reported adverse reactions reported at dosages between 20 and 24 mg/day were dizziness (number needed to harm (NNH)= 8), dry mouth (NNH= 12), fatigue (NNH= 34), nasal congestion (NNH= 17), orthostatic hy- 14 THE EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDE TO ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATIONS potension (NNH= 25), somnolence (NNH= 10), tachycardia (NNH= 10), and weight gain (NNH=13) (Citrome 2009).

The 231 patients who had TD at study entry were randomly assigned to only SGAs rather than to perphenazine.

The time to discontinuation was significantly longer for olanzapine than for risperidone and quetiapine. The differences between olanzapine and either perphenazine or ziprasidone were no longer significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons, possibly because of lower sample sizes for the latter two agents.
