Right, sorry to be so sloppy, tried trazodone again as a sleep aid two nights ago and am still trying to recover from the lack of sleep. The 2C receptor does seem to be the one most involved with appetite, but unfortunately, this gets blocked by many drugs that also blockade 2A. When I see a 2A blockade, I automatically tend to think to myself "increased appetite," but this isn't necessarily true. I'm reading a paper right now on risperidone that claims it is selective for 2A over 2C at very low dosages. Perhaps there might be something to this.Todd
