Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There is minimal potential for abuse with buspirone. It takes longer than 3 days to see signs of improvement. Buspirone has lower sedative properties and does not affect GABA receptors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most common adverse effects of azaspirone therapy include dizziness, nervousness, drowsiness, and lightheadedness. Azaspirones do not have a risk for abuse or addiction.
Nausea and vomiting are not common adverse effects of treatment with azaspirones. Azaspirones do not have CNS depression, but it is recommended that they not be combined with alcohol or sedatives.
