Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.132.9.965

The author conducted two trial studies to evaluate the use of oxprenolol in the treatment of symptoms resulting from environmental stress. Results indicated that on a three-times-a-day regimen, 80 mg of oxprenolol was superior to 20 mg of oxprenolol and equally as effective as 5 mg of diazepam. The author discusses the benefit of beta-blocking drugs and points to the need for further studies.
