See table 3.8 on SSRIs compared to Clomipramine and the "Effect of Uptake of their metabolites in vitro" found at:

Obviously, since Wellbutrin is not a SSRI, it is not on the chart.

If you have already seen this, sorry for the duplication.

I felt no motivation, was extremely apathetic and had no sex drive. I realize that others might have a different response to Zoloft but I'm still left wondering about it's net dopaminergic effects.
