1. A patient was diagnosed with GAD 4 weeks ago and was placed on Clonazepam (klonopin) twice a day and citalopram (citalopram (celexa)) once daily. When he asks the PMHNP why it is necessary to wean him off of the Clonazepam (klonopin) the best response is:
A.
Clonazepam (klonopin) may interfere with citalopram (celexa)s targeted areas in the brain
B.
Clonazepam (klonopin) is not recommended for long term use due to possible sedation
C.
Clonazepam (klonopin) was used as an aid to treat your condition while you were adjusting to citalopram (celexa)
D.
Clonazepam (klonopin) and citalopram (celexa) target the same area in the brain and after long-term use they will begin to compete making one more or less effective than the other
