Fluoxetine has some 5HT2C antagonism going on... so that might be the reason ;-)

It gets out of the dark mood, and feel better to talk, and go through out the day. fluoxetine is least selective of SSRIs. Zoloft blunted me out, but also zoloft is a dopamine reptake inhibtor at higher doses, it has a dopamine effect at 200+ mgs
