Tricyclic therapy of the DSM-III anxiety disorders: a review with implications for further research.

Existing data suggests dramatic efficacy for all tested tricyclics in disorders involving spontaneous panic attacks; moderate efficacy for clomipramine but not other tricyclics in obsessive-compulsive patients; possible, but as yet not well established, tricyclic efficacy in generalized anxiety; and lack of efficacy in simple phobias. Further studies in all DSM-III Anxiety Disorders are both warranted and required to answer the nosological, pathophysiological and treatment questions raised by these findings.
