TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Effects of atenolol and propranolol on human performance and subjective feelings JO - Psychopharmacology A1 - Landauer, A. A. A1 - Pocock, D. A. A1 - Prott, F. W. SP - 211 EP - 215 VL - 60 IS - 2 N2 - In a double-blind, double crossover experiment, 18 healthy young men received over 3-day periods either 100 mg atenolol, 80 mg propranolol, or placebo. The subjects underwent various motor and cognitive tests 18 h after each last dose had been taken. Propranolol significantly increased variability of a choice reaction-time task. Scores on various subjective rating scales showed that propranolol had a larger mood elevating effect than atenolol. Heart rate and blood pressure were significantly reduced 24h after atenolol medication; these effects were absent or reduced after propranolol had been given.
