Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Although anticholinergic effects such as dry mouth and urine retention could occur, they are not as common as weight gain or sexual dysfunction. Headache is not a common adverse effect, and neither is drowsiness or coma. Overdoses will cause anxiety and restlessness (not drowsiness).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: MAOIs and foods high in tyramine can produce a hypertensive crisis, and therefore should not be taken together.
