Benzodiazepines are commonly used to treat panic disorder and abrupt discontinuation of medication can result in withdrawal symptoms and potential rebound anxiety. SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants may also be used for treatment but are less likely to result in withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation. Phenothiazines are not typically used to treat panic disorder.
