The only think is, that not all dopamine reuptake inhibitors have abuse potential.
Cocaine may be different in that it affects the release of monoamines in addition to affecting their reuptake.
Just like how MDMA, is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, but that doesn't mean SSRI's have
the abuse potential that MDMA has.Another point is that SJW is a triple uptake inhibitor, with moderate but equal potency on the three monoamines. SJW has no abuse potential though, and is not comparable to cocaine.
So, I don't know if the these "similarities" would mean the drugs are similar in abuse potential.
