Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
A 14-day lapse is recommended between MAOIs, such as Parnate, and SSRI agents.
The incidence of lithium toxicity is increased with SSRI agents. The anticoagulant effects of warfarin may be enhanced with SSRIs. The SSRIs fluvoxamine and citalopram inhibit the metabolism of beta-adrenergic blocking agents such as propranolol. Lasix does not interact with SSRI agents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Common adverse effects associated with tricyclic antidepressants are dry mouth and orthostatic hypotension. Alcohol and barbiturates should be avoided while taking tricyclic antidepressants because they enhance sedation. Adverse effects are likely to occur, and the medication should not be discontinued without the direction of the health care provider. Tricyclic antidepressants typically take several weeks to produce a therapeutic effect.
