Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The choice of tricyclic antidepressants is based on their individual therapeutic characteristics. Tricyclics prolong the action of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. All tricyclics produce orthostatic hypotension to some degree. All tricyclics produce sedation, not stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Social withdrawal and lack of interest in surroundings are psychological responses that will improve within 2 to 4 weeks of the patient receiving an effective dosage of antidepressant therapy. An increase in energy, decreased palpitations, and improvement in sleep patterns are physiological responses.
