There are no guarentees. I think tollerance builds more completely to antihistamine effects than 5-ht2a antagonist effects. Cyproheptadine can worsen mood. I find it very calming not depressing. The calcium chanel blockade and perhaps nonselective serotonin antagonism might worsen mood. I find it more of a mood stabilizer personally. Melatonergic drugs can sometimes cause depression (possably its anticonvulsant or serotonin modulating effects).

Just because ambien works well doesn't mean it isn't possably carcinogenic.

Possably, but why? Sombody just randomly picks a drug to associate with cancer? Anyhow, I would personnally assume its true until proven false.
