The antidopaminergic nature of an antidepressant most likely varies from drug to drug, and on dose etc.
I would think that paxil would confer a significant risk due to it being the most potent, but its short half-life might confer some protection.
Some of the information will have accumulated based on the treatment of depression in parkinsons. Many doctors have realized that SSRI's may help the depression, but can often make the parkinson's worse.
