  • Title: Compulsive water drinking treated with high dose propranolol.
    Author: Shevitz SA, Jameison RC, Petrie WM, Crook JE.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 1980 Apr; 168(4):246-8. PubMed ID: 7365485.
    Abstract:
    A patient with recurrent, life-threatening water intoxication secondary to compulsive water drinking is described. This patient responded well to nearly 1 g of propranolol daily with a decrease in her drinking behavior, reduced sensation of thirst, and a reduction in her delusional thinking. The rationale for the choice of propranolol with this patient is reviewed.
