Propranolol for adults with temper outbursts and residual attention deficit disorder.
Thirteen adults with temper outbursts and residual attention deficit disorder (ADD) were given propranolol to 640 mg/day in an open study. Eleven of the patients improved, with improvement in temper and other symptoms of ADD, indicating a need for controlled studies. This suggests a novel pharmacological approach to residual ADD.
