“…The data about the prevalence of NPA from other studies shows a wide range from 18% to 69% (5,(27)(28)(29)(30). In our study, we found a prevalence of 47.9% which is consistent with a wide range found in other studies.…”

“…It is thought that every subtype might be different in terms of clinical presentation, behavioral change and socio demo graphic features (4). Identifying subtypes of panic disorder and its characteristics is essential for evaluating some elements such as severity of disorder, psychiatric and physical comorbidity and response and prognosis to different therapeutic approaches (5,6). "Masked anxiety" or "alexithymic panic" was first defined as a subtype of panic disorder (7,8).…”

Fifty-one of the 98 patients were suffering from Nocturnal Panic Attacks according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

-Objective: Clonidine, which inhibits locus coeruleus discharge, would seem for theoretical reasons to be a good antipanic drug. Panic disorder (PD) presents a heterogeneous cluster of symptoms and a classification based on subtypes has been suggested and the respiratory symptoms group appears as a distinct subtype. Method: We report three cases of respiratory PD patients who were successfully treated with clonidine. Results: Patients obtained panic free status, reduced anxiety levels and better functioning after clonidine administration (0.30-0.45 mg/day) for 6 weeks. Conclusion: Clonidine can be effective in the treatment of respiratory PD.This drug might play a role in relieving symptoms of anxiety due to noradrenergic hyperactivity in these patients.KEY WORDS: respiration, panic attack, norepinephrine, panic subtypes, anxiety disorder. Clonidina no subtipo respiratório de transtorno de pânicoRESUMO -Objetivo: Clonidina, que inibe a descaga do locus coeruleus, parece ser, por razões teóricas, uma boa droga antipânico. O transtorno de pânico (TP) apresenta uma constelação heterogênea de sintomas e uma classificação baseada em subtipos tem sido sugerida. O grupo com sintomas respiratórios aparece como um subtipo distinto. Método: Descrevemos três casos de pacientes com subtipo respiratório de TP tratados de forma bem sucedida com clonidina. Resultados: Os pacientes obtiveram remissão de ataques de pânico, redução dos níveis de ansiedade e melhor funcionamento após administração de clonidina (0,30-0,45 mg/dia) por 6 semanas. Conclusão: Clonidina pode ser eficaz no tratamento do subtipo respiratório de TP. Esta droga pode ter um papel no alívio de sintomas de ansiedade devidos a hiperatividade noradrenérgica, nestes pacientes. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: respiração, ataque de pânico, norepinefrina, subtipos de pânico, transtorno de ansiedade.Panic disorder (PD) is a common and potentially debilitating anxiety disorder that can adversely affect patient's personal, social, work, and academic lives 1 .The care of patients with PD involves approaches that are designed to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks, reduce morbidity, and improve patient functioning 2
