Treatment of panic disorder with bupropion in a patient with Parkinson's disease.

We report on a 57-year-old woman, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, whose panic disorder showed marked improvement after introduction of bupropion, a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Additionally a comorbid major depression disappeared under this treatment. Bupropion may be useful for the treatment of patients with both panic disorder and Parkinson's disease.
