Answer to Question 1

A
Side effects of phenothiazines include extrapyramidal reactions, anticholinergic effects, hypoten-sion, and sedation.
Glucocorticoids and cannabinoids do not cause extrapyramidal side effects.
The most common side effects of serotonin-receptor antagonists are headache, diarrhea, and diz-ziness. They do not cause extrapyramidal side effects.
