The only thing that prozac and remeron share in common to my knowledge is that they are 5 HT2C receptor antagonists. Remeron doesn't block serotonin reuptake, which prozac does. Prozac doesn't antagonizes the 5 HT2A or 5 HT3 receptors or the antihistamine receptor like remeron does.
In the following presentation Dr Stephen Stahl says that 5 HT2C inhibition leads to the release of more dopamine and norepinephrine in the Cortex.
