title: Emergence of hostility during alprazolam treatment.
abstract: Of 80 patients given alprazolam, eight became hostile early in treatment. The authors suggest that alprazolam-induced hostility may be more likely in patients with well-suppressed chronic anger and resentment and cite reports of hostility associated with other benzodiazepines.
