I'm a bit vague on all the receptors -- what sort of meds block 2a?

My experience with Serzone (especially after several years' use) was that it usually helped me to sleep but occasionally zapped me awake all night! Important factors seemed to be a) taking it late at night b) already being hyper, c) other meds, e.g. Wellbutrin.

I remember reading another post (a long time ago) describing the late-dosing+already hyper effect.

Has anyone had this with the standard SSRI's?
