چکیده
One-hundred-and-fifteen patients diagnosed as anxiety neurotics randomly received in a double blind study 20 mg clobazam (Frisium) as a single nightly dose (37 patients) or 10 mg b.d. (38 patients) or diazepam 5 mg b.d. (40 patients) for six weeks, followed by two weeks on placebo. Both the single and divided doses of clobazam were therapeutically equivalent to diazepam. After drug withdrawal, all three treatment groups continued to improve. Patients on clobazam showed better motor performance than the diazepam series. Patients on clobazam divided dose performed significantly better than those on diazepam. Minor side-effects occurred in all patients. From the results clobazam as a single dose of 20 mg has good anxiolysis without any hungover effect.
