Lactate-induced panic in primary affective disorder

Lactate-induced panic in primary affective disorder

D S Cowley et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1986 May.

Abstract

Intravenous sodium lactate was given to seven patients with primary depression and secondary panic attacks and 26 patients with panic disorder or agoraphobia with panic attacks. The two groups had similar rates of panic response. These results challenge the diagnostic specificity of lactate-induced panic.
