[Treatment refractory panic disorder--success of a combined treatment with imipramine, moclobemide and behavior therapy].

The subject of how to treat patients suffering from severe panic attacks and concomitant symptoms has in the past been insufficiently discussed although these patients typify a legitimate clinical group. This case report deals with a patient with a long history of panic disturbances including agoraphobia, social phobia, depressive moods and alcohol abuse, whose condition remitted only after applying a supplementary treatment, using Imipramine and Moclobimide in conjunction with behavioural therapy. Criteria of panic disturbances not yielding to treatment and potential therapeutic measures are being discussed.
