No sweat -- most people don't realize Prozac is such a robust medication.
Re: Wellbutrin and Ritalin, I'd definitely say that either could be used to enhance dopaminergic/noradrenergic activity with the outcome of enhanced motivation and energy... but Wellbutrin *may* be more adept at this. They do seem to have quite a similar effect, except that 1) Ritalin, generally speaking, tends to cause a feeling of "dullness" which is hardly conducive to motivation, and 2) with Ritalin, or any methylphenidate product, you have to worry about that terrible between-dose period. That being said, I find stimulants work much better for me than Wellbutrin in this regard, but it's the amphetamines that I find so highly motivating -- certainly not methylphenidate.
