Treatment of Panic Disorder

If you are diagnosed with PD, you will probably be prescribed some form of medication.  The most commonly prescribed types include:

• SSRIs,
• SNRIs,
• some TCAs (particularly imipramine), and
• benzodiazepines such as clonazepam and alprazolam.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy may also be recommended as a suitable form of treatment for PD.

The Treatments section will give you more detailed information on individual types of medication, psychotherapy and physical treatments.
