Answer to Question 1

B
BuSpar (buspirone) would be the most likely medication chosen when changing a anti-anxiety medication to another anti-anxiety medication that is less sedating and is less likely to lead to dependence. There is no evidence of habituation of dependency among individuals taking buspirone. However, not all individuals respond to buspirone (particularly those previously treated with benzodiazepines). In addition, buspirone is significantly more expensive than other anti-anxiety medications, although this may be alleviated as generic versions enter the market.

Answer to Question 2

B
