Tourette's syndrome patients may suffer associated behavior and emotional problems that require treatment intervention even when tic symptoms are mild. A case is reported of a boy with Tourette's syndrome whose panic attacks were successfully treated with imipramine. The results suggest that trials of imipramine might prove beneficial for Tourette's syndrome patients who experience panic attacks.
