Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Chronic alcohol use is associated with higher than expected rates of panic disorder. METHODS:To study the relationship between alcoholism and panic disorder, we administered the panicogenic agent, sodium lactate, to 26 alcoholics with either panic disorder or frequent panic attacks (ALCPAN), 20 nonalcoholics with panic disorder (PAN), 14 alcoholics without a history of panic attacks, and 14 healthy volunteers. RESULTS:PAN were significantly more likely to have a lactate-induced panic attack (65%) than ALCPAN (23%). ALCPAN who had the onset of panic attacks prior to alcoholism also had a reduced frequency of lactate-induced panic attacks (26.7%) compared to PAN. CONCLUSIONS:There is a reduced incidence of lactate-induced panic attacks in ALCPAN. This reduction does not appear to be explained by the relative onset of panic attacks to alcoholism. The role of excessive alcohol consumption in the decreased frequency of lactate-induced panic attacks seen in ALCPAN needs further study.
