>i see this as a PFC/mesocortical-pathway issue in my case, the nature of my problems and my long lasting tardive movement issues seem to point here (i can go into detail, but i'll be brief, they were SSRI induced, theorised to be related to choking VTA dopaminergic projections through te mesocortical pathway to the PFC).

I'm a pretty anxious type, which might explain why I liked it from the start.this makes me worry a lot. especially since this effect seems to be invoking movement related terminology (RLS), and i found it very confusing. my impression was that 5-ht2c antagonism would be anxiolytic, and very pro-healthy-movement-states. i though 5-ht2c inverse agonism was being eyed for antiparkinsonian potential...
i want tandospirone.
