clonidine and Anxiety Neuroses

clonidine has been researched along with Anxiety Neuroses in 46 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

( Hoehn-Saric, R; Keyser, ML; Merchant, AF; Smith, VK, 1981)
" Among the more important recent discoveries are the efficacy of the tricyclic antidepressants for panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks; the use of the monoamine oxidase inhibitors for the above disorders and for atypical depression and hysteroid dysphoria; the use of propranolol for anxiety disorders and for uncontrollable violent outbursts; the antianxiety and antipanic effects of clonidine; and the usefulness of lithium in treating schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and for emotionally unstable character disorders."4.76Newer uses for older psychotropic medications. ( Liebowitz, MR, 1982)
" These two studies indicate that while clonidine has short-term anxiolytic effects in patients with panic disorder, these effects do not persist with long-term administration in most patients."2.66Behavioral and physiologic effects of short-term and long-term administration of clonidine in panic disorder.
