Low doses of clonazepam in the treatment of panic disorder.

Abstract

In order to assess the efficacy of a high-potency benzodiazepine in the treatment of panic disorder, an open trial was conducted with clonazepam. Clonazepam was administered in relatively low doses and, after four weeks, was shown to be effective in reducing the number of panic attacks and associated features of the disorder.
