Well I agree that my subjective experiences are indeed different. When I *first* took prozac years ago it was awesome. I always felt good. If someone I know felt bad I recommended them taking it. I eventually stopped it since I thought I didn't need it. Bad call. Now any increase in serotonin makes me apathetic. So I'd say, yes, in a drug niave person it will probably increase dopamine along with norepinephrine via 5 HT2C antagonism. BTW prozac is a 5 HT2A antagonist according to Lilly's scientists, which about the same binding affinity as the 5HT2C receptor. There may be differences in the actual potency to block electrical signals, since there isn't much written about fluoxetine's actions at the 5HT2a receptor.
