Medications
Used in the Treatment of Panic Disorder
|
Here
I've compiled the most up to date list on common medications
that are used in the treatment of panic disorder and attempted
to get price quotes (USA) for the medicine through www.drugstore.com
(which is actually Rite-Aid) - a most excellent website
where I actually order my meds from.

If
I've missed any meds you'd like to see on here, please fill

This
page was created in August of 2001, it was current then.
Please check sources at the bottom of this webpage for the
latest information on any medication and remember to always
talk to your doctor before going on or off or changing any
medication, and talk to them about possible drug interactions.
That is so important! Take care of you!
