Or more plausibly, norepinephrine (if we are taking the term stimulating to mean noradrenergic. Any Initial euphoria could be seen as a response to extracellular dopamine increase)
From 'Desvenlafaxine succinate: A new serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
Inhibition of [3H]5-HT or [3H]NE uptake by DVS for the hSERT or hNET produced IC50 values of 47.3 +/- 19.4 and 531.3 +/- 113.0 nM, respectively. DVS (10 microM), examined at a large number of nontransporter targets, showed no significant activity. DVS (30 mg/kg orally) rapidly penetrated the male rat brain and hypothalamus. DVS (30 mg/kg orally) significantly increased extracellular NE levels compared with baseline in the male rat hypothalamus but had no effect on DA levels using microdialysis.'
