Are you saying that SSRIs increase the levels of norepinephrine? I have never heard this before, and none of the drug monographs claim any affinity for norepinephrine receptors. The one SSRI I took that claimed it affected noradrenergic receptors was quite different, therapeutically, than all the others. Are you claiming that they affect norepinephrine to an appreciable extent?
