[A clinical trial of bromazepam (author's transl)]

Bromazepam was studied in 32 patients with neurotic anxiety. Daily doses varied between 6 and 12 mg on average. Bromazepam was associated with neuroleptic drugs in 2 cases and with tricyclic antidepressants in 12 cases. Satisfactory results were obtained in 72% of the patients, particularly those with anxiety neurosis and reactional anxiety. The drug was tolerated; transient drowsiness was well noted in 3 cases and some degree of euphoria in 2 cases. Bromazepam appears to be a quick-acting, purely anxiolytic drug, with effects perceptible after 2 or 3 days of the treatment. Its lack of sedative action makes it particularly useful in ambulatory patients.
