Adjunctive buspirone in benzodiazepine treatment of four patients with panic disorder
DR Gastfriend and JF Rosenbaum
Clinical Psychopharmacology Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 02114.
Four patients with panic disorder whose panic attacks responded to
benzodiazepine treatment but who suffered persistent anxiety improved after
addition of buspirone. Despite its lack of antipanic effect, buspirone may
offer an adjunctive benefit when added to benzodiazepines in panic
disorder.
