Which medication is associated with drowsiness according to the notes?

• A. Sertraline
• B. Fluoxetine
• C. Clozapine
• D. Escitalopram

Answer: (A)

Drowsiness as a side effect is noted with sertraline in these notes. Sertraline, like some other SSRIs, can cause sedation, especially when you’re first starting treatment or at higher doses, so patients may feel sleepy. Among the other medications listed, fluoxetine is often more activating and can cause trouble sleeping rather than sleepiness; escitalopram is typically well tolerated with less sedation; and clozapine is a sedating antipsychotic with a different drug class and context. So, in the notes, sertraline is the one most consistently associated with drowsiness. If drowsiness is a concern, discussing timing (often taking at night) or dose with a clinician can help manage it.
