My understanding is that you get thoses blockades via alpha 2 antagonism at all doses. But at lower doses like 7.5 mg or 15 mg the antihistasmine reuptake is more "evident".
To put it simple, you have this modulation of 5-HT neurotransmission (5HT2C and 5HT3) via the blocking on pre- and postsynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors.
Good luck!
