For # 71, I picked E and it is the correct answer.

However, the close 2nd best answer was B because it tells you that SSRI drugs do not help with sleepnessness.

The explanation in the book for B speaks to the fact that knowing side effects is irrelevant and as such B is wrong. However, option E is the one that talks about the side effect which people may not know about. I'm wondering whether the explanation in the book is incorrect?

Thanks,

The question asks about a person dealing with BOTH sleeplessness and anxiety.

Since the person is also dealing with sleeplessness, it wouldn't make sense to take a drug that may increase it, which is why choice E is correct.

In choice B, the drug does not worsen sleeplessness, it just doesn not help it. This is not as strong as a reason to not take the drug as what is given in E.
