Ritanserin was/is an effective antidepressant (as effective as any) from the abstracts I have read. I also read that ritanserin inhibits dopamine reuptake. See:

Similar effectiveness to amitriptyline:

I think there is still this assumption that just because it is not a serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, it is not an effective antideressant.
