Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Benzodiazepines and buspirone have the pharmacologic effects of anxiolysis, sedation, centrally mediated muscle relaxation, and elevation of the seizure threshold. Both are commonly used in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
SSRIs block neuronal transport of serotonin, which stimulates many postsynaptic receptor sites and probably contributes to associated side effects. These include nausea, vomiting, weight changes, agitation or restlessness, and delayed or impaired orgasm. Liver failure, myopathy, and exophthalmia are not associated with SSRI treatment.
