Other SSRIs may be selected as an alternative to fluvoxamine in the event that fluvoxamine cannot be used. Sertraline is the first option because of efficacy for pediatric GAD (Rynn et ah, 2001) paroxetine is an option because of controlled treatment data for adolescent depression (Keller et ah, 2000) and OCD (see Chapter 39) and fluoxetine is an option because of controlled treatment data for pediatric depression (Em-slie et ah, 1997). Eorazepam is included as a short acting alternative to clonazepam. Nortriptyline, which is less anticholinergic and thus may be better tolerated, is included as an alternative to IMF... 

A larger set of placebo-controlled studies show conclusively that imipramine is also effective for the treatment of panic disorders. Other agents shown to be effective in panic disorders include the SSRIs paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and citalopram. Generally, initial treatment of moderate to severe panic disorders may require the initiation of a short course of benzodiazepines e.g. clonazepam (0.5 1 mg twice daily), and an SSRI. The patient will obtain immediate relief from panic attacks with the benzodiazepine whereas the SSRI may take 1 6 weeks to become effective. Once a patient is relieved of initial panic attacks, clonazepam should be tapered and discontinued over several weeks and SSRI therapy continued thereafter. There are no pharmacological treatments available for specific phobias, however controlled trials have shown efficacy for several agents, e.g. phenelzine, moclobemide. clonazepam, alprazolam, fluvoxamine. sertraline and paroxetine in the treatment of social phobia (Roy-Byrne and Cowlev, 2002). 

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 13 subjects, sertraline did not affect the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of clonazepam (26).

Urinary retention and severe constipation occurred in a patient who started to take sertraline when already taking haloperidol and clonazepam (669). After a week, she discontinued sertraline and her symptoms disappeared in a few days.

There are few controlled clinical trials of drugs in children and adolescents with GAD. CBT alone or in conjunction with antidepressants can have long-term benefits. Randomized controlled trials of sertraline and fluovoxamine, and open trials of alprazolam, clonazepam, and fluoxetine indicate short-term efficacy however, be-...
