title: Relapse of panic disorder induced by a single intravenous methamphetamine injection.
abstract: The authors reports a case of a 33-year-old woman who had a relapse and worsening of panic disorder following a single injection of methamphetamine after a long period of remission. Her first panic attack had occurred when she was a 14-year-old high school student, but the course had persisted only for 1 month. Soon after an intravenous injection of methamphetamine, she had a relapse of panic disorder, and depression and agoraphobia developed. Psychotropic medication was not fully effective.
