On the basis of estimation of vegetative parameters in 33 panic attacks (PA) patients it was concluded that vegetative index (VI) and vegetative activity ensuring (VAE) are preferable. VAE was hypersympathetic in most PA patients but VI was parasympathetic as possible compensator mechanism of hyperergotrophic suprasegmental vegetative influences. Escitalopram in a dosage of 10 mg/day during 2 months has shown high efficacy for regression of pathological vegetative parameters types and PA symptoms.
