These meta-analyses found no statistically significant differences between the efficacy of propranolol and benzodiazepines regarding the short-term treatment of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia .
Also , no evidence was found for effects of propranolol on PTSD symptom severity through inhibition of memory reconsolidation .
In conclusion , the quality of evidence for the efficacy of propranolol at present is insufficient to support the routine use of propranolol in the treatment of any of the anxiety disorders
The effects of propranolol in the treatment of anxiety disorders have not been systematic ally evaluated previously .
The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omised controlled trials , addressing the efficacy of oral propranolol versus placebo or other medication as a treatment for alleviating either state or trait anxiety in patients suffering from anxiety disorders .
Imipramine versus propranolol for the treatment of panic attacks: a pilot study.
Abstract Thirty-eight patients agreed to participate in a preliminary crossover trial comparing imipramine to propranolol for the treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks .  An independent blind assessor was used as well as several st and ard rating scales . There was no placebo group . Twenty-three patients completed a trial of both drugs . Approximately half of the patients lost their panic attacks completely , both on imipramine and propranolol . Other patients were partially , but not completely improved . The implication s and limitations of this finding and others are discussed
