米国において、アルプラゾラムはパニック障害(対人恐怖を伴うものでも)に、アメリカ食品医薬品局(FDA)の認可を受けている[7]。World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP)は2002年に、アルプラゾラムを治療抵抗性パニック障害に対して、薬物耐性・依存の経歴のない患者に限って推奨している[10]。

Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic... Panic Disorder – XANAX is also indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia... Demonstrations of the effectiveness of XANAX by systematic clinical study are limited to 4 months duration for anxiety disorder and 4 to 10 weeks duration for panic disorder; however, patients with panic disorder have been treated on an open basis without any apparent loss of benefit. The physician should periodically reassess the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.”
