The treatments included oral risperidone for 201 subjects (44.77%), olanzapine for 41 subjects (9.13%), quetiapine for 31 subjects (6.90%), aripiprazole for 30 subjects (6.68%), and other treatments for 187 subjects (41.65%). The major reason of switching treatment was insufficient efficacy, accounting for a total of 344 subjects. AEs (92 subjects), noncompliance (51 subjects), and other (2 subjects) were the reasons for switching. Twenty-two subjects received antipsychotics > 30 days prior to enrollment. The switching reasons were insufficient efficacy (n = 10), side effects (n = 1), noncompliance (n = 11), and other (n = 1).
