Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Adding a noradrenergic medication, such as bupropion (Wellbutrin), to an SSRI can reduce sexual dysfunction. Trazodone may be useful in treating insomnia. A benzodiazepine, such as Ativan, can reduce anxiety. An adrenergic beta antagonist (such as propranolol) can also reduce anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Cigarette smoking is an inducer of CYP 1A2 and can diminish the effect of Zyprexa. Smoking does not increase the toxicity of Zyprexa, nor does Zyprexa increase the negative effects of smoking. Smoking does interact with Zyprexa.
