> Some have indirect effects on dopamine, secondary to their more potent action on other things. Desipramine, wellbutrin, savella, TCAs in general. While they do impact dopamine, they do so weakly. Zoloft has some dopamine reuptake, but is miniscule compared to its serotonin reuptake. Prozac does not have dopamine reuptake, but increases dopamine levels, especially pronounced when combined with zyprexa.
