What about 5-HT2c blockade?

I found agomelatine to be somewhat pro-sexual. I am not sure what to attribute this to, though. It does stimulate M1 and M2 melatonin receptors. I was under the impression that it was the ability of agomelatine to block 5-HT2c serotonin receptors that was responsible for this effect.

Maybe Linkadge can offer an opinion as to what roles melatoninergic activation would play in the pro-sexual and antidepressant effects of agomelatine.

I might look into it later. Now, I have to shuttle my parents off to the airport. They are going to Aruba for two weeks. I would have gone with them, except that I knew I wouldn't enjoy myself. Maybe next year.
