title: Clonazepam in the treatment of patients with recurrent panic attacks.
abstract: Imipramine, phenelzine, and alprazolam have each been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of panic disorder and in agoraphobia with panic attacks. Clonazepam is a high-potency 1,4-benzodiazepine derivative with an intermediate to long elimination half-life that is used mainly in neurology as an antiepileptic. Eight cases of recurrent panic attacks successfully treated with clonazepam are reported.
