My impression was that 5HT2a was the receptor responsible for reducing dopamine as well as causing insomnia, sexual dysfunction and agitation. Trazadone, Serzone, Buspar, Remeron, high dose Parnate, Periactin, Amantadine, and many of the antipsychotics block this receptor.
Blocking 5HT2c can result in weight gain which is why Remeron is so known to pack on the weight.
