Its similar to remeron in the way a vespa is similar to a hummer. They both have wheels.
The only thing they have in common is that they block the 5 HT3 receptor, which probably won't make you feel more agressive.
I think the problem with remeron is that it is an alpha adrenergic 2 antagonist. It just cuts the negative feedback loop and just keeps increasing norepinephrine. You shouldn't experience that with this drug.
It would be interesting to see what it does though. Hope you find something that works.
