The paper treats of the data on the treatment of 69 patients with vegetative crises (panic attacks) with amitriptyline and clonazepam by the double blind placebo control method. The efficacy of amitriptyline was 77% versus 42% (placebo); that of clonazepam was 84% versus 35% (placebo). The clinical predictors of the placebo efficacy and of each of the drugs in the treatment of the conditions in question have been established.
