I think the dopamine effect is minimal at doses you would usualy take. Usual being 75 mg to 300 mg per day. I was taking 225 mg XR once a day and I don't think I got any dopamine effect. The effect was Norepinephrine, it was very activating, and made me a panicky, especially in combo with Wellbutrin SR. For increase of dopamine you might try l-dopa containing Mucuna Puriens (or Velvet Bean, Cowitch plant, or ayurvedic Kapikachu). I am taking that now after getting off of Effexor XR and Wellbutrin SR.
