The present invention, in one aspect, relates to a method of using piperazinyl-heterocyclic compounds of the formula I, as defined below, for treating, in a mammal, including a human, situational anxiety, for example, anxiety experienced prior to medical procedures (e.g., surgery), public speaking, anxiety associated with swimming or water, anxiety associated with travel (e.g., air travel), or anxiety associated with specific phobias (snakes, spider, rats, sight of blood), comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula I to the mammal. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method of using piperazinyl-heterocyclic compounds of the formula I, as defined below, for treating, in a mammal, including a human, treatment-resistant anxiety, which method comprises administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula I to the mammal. The compounds of formula I are defined as follows:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, wherein Ar, n, X, and Y are as defined.
