i dont think we can categorise serotonin . its effects and receptors are too variable. unlike the simple glutamate (excitatory) or glycine (inhibitory) it cant be classified i think

When you a give a patient prozac, he becomes more calm, docile, sexually low, more sleep,decrease appetite but feels happy. otherwise another serotonin drugs are antiemetic and also antimigrane. So it depends on the receptor, and intecellular tansduction not on seotonin,per se.
