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.

During my time on Remeron I didn't have any increase in appetite or weight gain but since swapping to Amitriptyline I have had a few carb cravings. :/
