[Efficacy of adepress (paroxetin) in generalized anxiety disorder].
The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy of adepress (paroxetin) in different clinical variants of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Adepress was used as a monotherapy during 42 days. Patient's state was assessed using Hamilton anxiety scale (HAM-A) at baseline and every week thereafter. The study included 49 patients aged 36,2+/-8,2 years. Patients were stratified into two groups according to the predominance of somatic (24 cases) or cognitive (21 cases) anxiety. The efficacy of adepress was shown both in a separate GAD and in a GAD with comorbid psychopathology. The effect of the drug was seen in patients with somatic anxiety after 3-4 weeks and in patients with cognitive anxiety after 3-6 weeks.
