A comparison of low-dose risperidone to paroxetine in the treatment of panic attacks: a randomized single-blind study

摘要

BackgroundBecause a large proportion of patients with panic attacks receiving approved pharmacotherapy do not respond or respond poorly to medication, it is important to identify additional therapeutic strategies for the management of panic symptoms. This article describes a randomized, rater-blind study comparing low-dose risperidone to standard-of-care paroxetine for the treatment of panic attacks.
