title: Cocaine-associated panic attacks in methadone-maintained patients.
abstract: The incidence of panic attacks methadone-maintained patients has increased over a 10-year period from 1 to 6-13%. Cocaine use appears to be associated with this increase, although other environmental and constitutional factors may be contributory. Patients with cocaine-associated panic differ from other panic patients in rates of psychiatric hospitalization and medical illness, but not in depression, other drug use, or agoraphobia.
