Abstract:
The authors conducted a 16-week double-blind, crossover study in 11 patients with panic disorder to study the effects of verapamil, a calcium channel blocker commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, on the treatment of panic disorder. Their findings suggest that verapamil has modest antianxiety and antipanic properties.
