Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The symptoms describe a manic attack. Mania is effectively treated by the antimania drug lithium
and selected anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, valproic acid, and lamotrigine. No drugs from
the other classifications listed are effective in the treatment of mania.

Answer to Question 2

A
This meal contains little tyramine. Vegetables and fruits contain little or no tyramine, and fresh
ground beef and apple pie should be safe. The other meals contain various amounts of tyramine-rich
foods or foods that contain vasopressors: avocados, ripe bananas (banana bread), sausages/hot dogs,
smoked meat (ham), cheddar cheese, yeast, caffeine drinks, and chocolate.
