These symptoms should not be secondary with another psychiatric disorder and must not have any organic cause. Disorder panics with or without agoraphobia: XANAX and XANAX TS are also indicated for the treatment of the disorder panics, with or without agoraphobia. The disorder panic is characterized by recurring crises of panic. The crises of panic are discontinuous periods d' discomfort or of intense fear characterized by at least 4 of the following symptoms: dyspnea, dizzy spells, feeling d' instability or d' to be at the edge of l' muscular fainding, tachycardia, tremors or jolts, sweats, suffocation, nauseas or abdominal embarrassment, depersonalization or derealisation, paraesthesia, puffs of heat or shivers, pain or thoracic embarrassment, fear of dying, fear of becoming insane or fear of making an act not controlled.

However, of the people suffering from disorder panic were treated within the framework d' an open study during a 8 months maximum, without loss connects therapeutic benefits. The doctor must revalue with regular intervals l' utility of the medicamentous treatment among all patients.
