Answer to Question 1

A
The SSRIs have achieved their current popularity because their side effects are less troublesome than those of the tricyclic antidepressants. The SSRIs lack the anticholinergic and orthostatic side effects of tricyclic antidepressants.

Answer to Question 2

C
The SSRI side effects may include agitation, restlessness, insomnia, weight loss, headache, nausea, and diarrhea. Sexual dysfunction may also occur, especially in men.
