Evidence from preclinical studies, preliminary clinical reports, pharmacologic challenge studies and a small number of controlled trials suggests that several antiepileptic agents--valproate, carbamazepine, and clonazepam--may have therapeutic effects in the treatment of patients with panic disorder. We review the theoretical basis and available clinical data supporting the use of these agents in panic disorder.
