Nefazodone and the Treatment of Panic

Sir: In a recent review of antidepressants used in treating panic disorder, Dr. Jefferson thoroughly reviews the historical data pertaining to tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). He makes brief mention of other antidepressants such as venlafaxine, bupropion, trazodone, as well as inositol, but no mention of nefazodone.
