That is a good point that yohimbine doesn't cause weight gain. But maybe yohimbine's effects at other receptors cancels out this effect.

The claim that 5-ht2c strongly impacts appetite seems dubious because the effects it would predict, such as SSRIs causing weight-loss, have not proved true. A weight-loss drug that targeted 5-ht2c was recently rejected by the FDA. Evidently the effect was marginal.
