Substitution of atenolol for propranolol in a case of propranolol- related depression
GN McNeil, PK Shaw and DS Dock
The authors describe a 62-year-old woman with symptoms of major depression
presumed to be secondary to propranolol use. The patient responded poorly
to imipramine; however, her symptoms cleared rapidly when atenolol was
substituted for propranolol.
