About the 2c receptor
It has been noted that some patients swiched to novel compounds such as mirtazapine, or nefazedone, which potently block the 2c recptor suffer a prompt relapse in OCD symptoms.
It was speculated that the 2c receptor was involved because of its controll of inosotide signalling ,and the unexpected efficacy of inositol in treating symptoms of OCD.
I believe that reduction of overall glutamate activity would be beneficial to neuroprotection, and perhaps to the sustaining of antidepressant effect. Agencts that controll the firing of glutamate neurons act as mood stabalizers, they can help prevent lows at the cost of the highs.
