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

Atomoxetine is terrible in my experience. Phenylpiracetam is alright and maybe kind of similar to bupropion, definitely my body tolerates it far better than atomoxetine. If you're looking for an SSRI with less side effects, escitalopram might be a good option. I've never heard of a country where bupropion is illegal, any idea what that's about?
