Excerpt from Annual Report of Intramural Research Program Activities: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism; October 1, 1990 to September 30, 1991; Summary Statements and Individual Project Reports Preliminary results show that there are statistically significant differences among controls, alcoholics and alcoholics with panic disorder in the behaviorally-induced effects of procaine. Alcoholics with panic disorder were more likely to experience a panic attack following procaine than were alcoholics without panic disorder or controls. Alcoholics with panic disorder had a greater rise in pulse per unit time and a greater change in vagal tone when compared to either controls or alcoholics without panic disorder. To date, 28 alcoholic patients are enrolled in a protocol assessing the effectiveness of buspirone (a selective serotonin agonist) vs. Placebo on reducing alcohol consumption in recovering alcoholics. Data analyses will begin when sufficient patients have been enrolled in the study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
