Think it's mainly SSRI and an NRI in higher doses. Doesn't seem to have a hugely significant DRI effect at prescribed doses and the effect is fixed, meaning more (possibly) 5HT and NE than desired.
Even Bupropion has only a very weak effect on dopamine, despite often being described as an NDRI in a lot of medical literature. A lot of downstream changes make it hard to estimate, although with pristiq at least the metabolism of the drug is more straightforward since it's a metabolite itself. It is not a releaser of DA but amphetamine is.
