Is buspirone effective for panic disorder?

D V Sheehan et al. J Clin Psychopharmacol. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

Buspirone was compared with imipramine and placebo in the treatment of panic disorder in an 8-week, double-blind controlled study of 52 randomly assigned patients. The side effect profile of buspirone was less disruptive than that of imipramine. Buspirone was not significantly superior to placebo in its antipanic or anxiolytic effects in panic disorder patients.
