propranolol and Hallucinations

propranolol has been researched along with Hallucinations in 26 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

Hallucinations: Subjectively experienced sensations in the absence of an appropriate stimulus, but which are regarded by the individual as real. They may be of organic origin or associated with MENTAL DISORDERS.

"In contrast, auditory hallucinations are uncommon in chronic liver disease."5.62Propranolol-induced hallucinations mimicking encephalopathy in a patient with liver cirrhosis. ( Al-Dury, S; Hedenström, P; Molinaro, A, 2021)
" The validity of this hypothesis was tested in a double-blind crossover study in which the hydrophilic beta-blocker atenolol was compared with the lipophilic agents metoprolol and propranolol, in 14 patients with a previous history of nightmares or hallucinations when treated with lipophilic beta-blockers."5.05Central nervous system side-effects with hydrophilic and lipophilic beta-blockers. ( Westerlund, A, 1985)
"Nocturnal urinary melatonin excretion was evaluated in six patients with nightmares and hallucinations during treatment with beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents, and compared to six control patients with similar diagnoses and treatment but without such symptoms from the central nervous system (CNS)."3.67Depressed melatonin secretion in patients with nightmares due to beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs. ( Brismar, K; Mogensen, L; Wetterberg, L, 1987)
"Narcolepsy is an incurable sleep disorder characterized by attacks of sleepiness and a series of auxiliary symptoms: cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations."2.37Current pharmacologic management of narcolepsy. ( Fletcher, KA; Jennings, SW; Scharf, MB, 1988)
" Other reported effects are toxic confusional states and psychotic reactions."2.36Psychiatric side effects of antihypertensive drugs other than reserpine. ( Fleminger, R; Paykel, ES; Watson, JP, 1982)
"In contrast, auditory hallucinations are uncommon in chronic liver disease."1.62Propranolol-induced hallucinations mimicking encephalopathy in a patient with liver cirrhosis. ( Al-Dury, S; Hedenström, P; Molinaro, A, 2021)
"Treatment with methimazole 30 mg and propranolol 30 mg was started, and her thyroid function showed improvement."1.42[Case of graves' disease with remarkable psychiatric symptoms]. ( Arao, T; Kuno, F; Kurozumi, A; Okada, Y; Tanaka, Y, 2015)
"Toxic effects (ataxia, visual hallucinations, and confusional states) were related to the rate of increase rather than to the absolute dose of propranolol."1.25Propranolol in the control of schizophrenic symptoms. ( Havard, CW; Malik, MK; Morrison, RC; Yorkston, NJ; Zaki, SA, 1974)
