In a QT study evaluating the effect of immediate-release oral paliperidone 8 mg (n=50), a mean placebo-subtracted increase from baseline on day 8 at 1.5 hours postdose was 12.3 milliseconds (ms). The mean steady-state peak plasma concentration achieved with immediate-release paliperidone was determined to be more than twice the exposure expected with the recommended 12 mg dose. None of the subjects had a QTc interval exceeding 60 ms. According to the phase 3 safety database which included double-blind and open-label extension studies (n=2054), 2 patients experienced QTc interval prolongation greater than 500 ms.
In placebo controlled trials with oral paliperidone, orthostatic hypotension increased with increasing doses, primarily at the 12 mg per day dose.[Ref]

Paliperidone has a prolactin-elevating effect similar to that seen with risperidone. Risperidone is associated with higher levels of prolactin elevation than other antipsychotic drugs.
Hyperprolactinemia may suppress hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), resulting in reduced pituitary gonadotropin secretion and in turn inhibit reproductive function by impairing gonadal steroidogenesis. Gynecomastia has been reported in patients receiving prolactin-elevating compounds.[Ref]
