The development of panic disorder (PD) after recreational use of MDMA has been described previously. [1-4] In these cases, PD was successfully treated with benzodiazepines, imipramine, tranylcypromine, fluoxetine, and fluvoxamine. [1,4,5] We describe a patient who developed PD after ingestion of multiple high doses of MDMA. For the first time, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine was successfully used in such a patient.
