Some of the initial anxiety caused by SSRIs is due to excessive signaling at 5-HT2C. Reuptake causes this, then receptors downregulate after 1-2 weeks.
In general, it is accepted that 5-HT2C receptor agonists increase anxiety behaviours and induce hypophagia. There is general agreement that antagonists are beneficial anxiolytics.
