Panic disorder. Sixty-six panic disorder patients were included in a study. All of whom met the DSM-IV diagnosis of panic disorder (n = 45) or panic disorder with agoraphobia ([PDA] n = 21). Twenty-four patients experienced their first panic attack within 48 hours of cannabis use and then went on to develop panic disorder. All the patients were treated with paroxetine (gradually increased up to 40 mg/day). The two groups responded equally well to paroxetine treatment as measured at the 8 weeks and 12 months follow-up visits. There were no significant effects of age, sex, and duration of illness as covariates with response rates between the two groups. In addition, panic disorder or panic disorder...

Antidepressants tend to provide a more sustained and continuous improvement of the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder than do the stimulants and do not induce tics or other abnormal movements sometimes associated with stimulants. Indeed, desipramine and nortriptyhne may effectively treat tic disorders, either in association with the use of stimulants or in patients with both attention deficit disorder and Tourette s syndrome. Antidepressants also are leading choices in the treatment of severe anxiety disorders, including panic disorder with agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as weU as for the common comorbidity of anxiety in depressive illness. Antidepressants, especially SSRIs, also are employed in the management of posttraumatic stress disorder, which is marked by anxiety, startle, painful recollection of the traumatic events, and disturbed sleep. Initially, anxious patients often tolerate nonsedating antidepressants poorly (Table 17-1), requiring slowly increased doses. Their beneficial actions typically are delayed for several weeks in anxiety disorders, just as they are in major depression. 

The analysis of the relationship between panic disorder and major depression has produced conflicting results. The possible link between these disorders has been provided by the frequent occurrence of major depression in patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia, both...

Because many antidepressant compounds are also effective in panic disorder, we performed a trial of inositol in panic (Benjamin et al. 1995). Twenty-one patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia completed a double-blind, random assignment crossover treatment trial of inositol 12 g/ day versus placebo, with 4 weeks in each treatment phase. Frequency of panic attacks and severity of panic disorder and of agoraphobia declined significantly more on inositol than on placebo the effect was comparable to that of imipramine in previous studies. Side effects were minimal. 

G. The fear or avoidance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance [e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition and is not better accounted for by another mental disorder [e.g., panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, separation anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, a pervasive developmental disorder, or schizoid personality disorder).
