I want to switch up Zoloft for another ssri, but they often dulls myself in a way I can’t act spontaneously and become more like unintrested which Zoloft is free of. I tend to associate this phenomena with Zoloft’s weak activity as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. And since wellbutrin is illegal in my state, I can’t have it (as well as adderall, ritalin)

What I do have are atomoxetine, phenylpiracetam

    I was prescribed a lot of different drugs before being diagnosed ADHD. The only SSRI that ever had an effect on me personally was Wellbutrin, but only for about a week. After that, even changing dosages, had no effect. That week the Wellbutrin worked I was a robot. No emotion, just “work”. Need to do the dishes…did the dishes. Need to work, productivity about 400% for the week, etc. I’m on Addrrall now, but it’s nothing like being on Wellbutrin. This was just my experience.

    I wouldn’t expect an ADHD med to have an effect on you, or if it did it could be similar to your previous experiences with other SSRI’s.

    Agree with the other poster though. Not sure where you are, but no state in the US bans Wellbutrin or Adderall. If you’re not in the US though, then I can’t offer any advice.
