Clonazepam and Imipramine for Panic Attacks: A Double-Blind Comparison of Efficacy and Side Effects

Panic attacks can be a debilitating experience, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and anxious. This study compares the effectiveness of two medications, clonazepam and imipramine, in treating panic disorder. The authors conducted a double-blind study, meaning neither the patients nor the researchers knew which medication each participant was receiving. The results showed that both clonazepam and imipramine were effective in reducing panic attacks, with significant improvement observed in both groups over the six-month study period. While both medications were well-tolerated, some mild side effects were reported, including faintness and tachycardia. The study suggests that both clonazepam and imipramine can be effective options for treating panic disorder, but further research is needed to determine the long-term effects and optimal dosing for each medication.
