In reply to 5-ht2 receptor antagonists, posted by dondon on October 3, 2004, at 10:52:14
> WHenever I take 5-ht2 antagonists with my zoloft, I always feel depressed. When I discontinue the 5-ht2 antagonists( remeron, trazodone etc. ) the zoloft seems like it's working again. I believev ssri's work partially by stimulating the 5-ht2 receptor , in my case anyways. The sexual side effects come from stimulation of this receptor.

>Hi dondon,
What have you tried besides these two? Trazodone has a metabolite called m-CPP which can cause problems & Remeron is an alpha-2 NE antagonist which can be irritating. I think Nortriptyline is the ideal thing to add to Zoloft or Amitriptyline if Nortriptyline doesn't give you good sleep.
Cheers,
Paul.
