So that there be no confusion, please note that asenapine is the generic name for Saphris.
I wrote the following in my previous post:
> Fenfluramine is a serotonin releaser that activates many different serotonin (5-HT) receptors. Asenapine acivates only one serotonin receptor - 5-HT1a. The mechanism by which fenfluramine causes adverse heart effects is via 5-HT2b receptor activation. Saphris and fenfluramine are not alike in this respect.
