> I believe Zyprexa is primarily an antagonist within the serotonin system, it is an antagonist at the 5ht-2a, 2c, 5ht-6, 5ht-3 receptors. However, antagonism at the 5ht-2a and D2 sites can cause 5ht-1a AGONIST activity.

yeah you would say zyprexa is a 5ht-2a, 2c, 5ht-6, 5ht-3 antagonist
but a serotonin agonist, cuz in general, if you block a receptor, there is more free to float in the synaptic gap and bind to other receptors
