Have you tried ADHD medications as an alternative to dopamine reuptake inhibitors? (self.antidepressants)

I want to switch up Zoloft for another ssri, but they often dulls myself in a way I can't act spontaneously and become more like unintrested which Zoloft is free of. I tend to associate this phenomena with Zoloft's weak activity as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. And since wellbutrin is illegal in my state, I can't have it (as well as adderall, ritalin)

What I do have are atomoxetine, phenylpiracetam

I like to combine Zoloft with occasional ephedrine, which is available over the counter at the pharmacy in the states. I did it to the level of what you would call abusing it in college, but these days I do it two or three times a month. like I always take my zoloft, but every once and a while I'll pop an ephedrine and just have a really good day
