> That is correct and thank you for pointing out the error. Zoloft has some dopamine impact at very high doses, you mentioned effexor, and such. I guess what I should have said is the meds are basically fixed ratios with some mild to modest variation dependent upon the size of the dose. While effexor impacts NE heavier above 300mg roughly, that impact is still very small compared to its impact on serotonin.

The binding affinities might be fixed, but not the absolute occupancy. If you were to bring the dosage of Effexor high enough, the ratio of occupancy might approach 1:1.
