In reply to Zoloft affect dopamine at all?, posted by superRitchie on October 15, 2003, at 21:49:07
> Ive hurd many stories that zoloft affects dopamine, and many stories it hasnt. does zoloft really affect dopamine at high doses, or is that a bunch of bullcrap(ive hurd its more potent than even wellbutrin at high doses) I'm starting zoloft so, does any experinced people know how it affects you? Thanks Ritchie
>Zoloft is a weak inhibitor of dopamine reuptake. In the usual dosing range (50-200 mg), I doubt there is any noticeable dopaminergic effect. However, if one were to push the dose higher (say 300-400 mg), I bet some signifigant DA reuptake inhibition would begin to take place. This is just a guess though.
