In reply to Re: prozac for OCD - but 5ht2c blockade ???, posted by Keith Talent on May 3, 2004, at 22:01:53
I agree with Keith.
5-HT2A & 2C antagonism is generally seen as good things. 5-HT2A antagonism is said to be anxiolytic & improve deep sleep, all the first generation AP's, Most Tricyclic AD's, third generation atypical AP's, Remeron, Serzone & Trazodone have strong 5-HT2A blockade. 5-HT2C blockade may or may not be anxiolytic, could be a second reason for Remeron to increase appetite & can help with SSRI induced anorgasmia.
Cheers,
