Contrary to popular belief, wellbutrin really isn't that strong a dopaminergic. It seems to have stronger effects on norepinephrine than dopamine.
Comparitively it is only a weak inhibitor of dopamine uptake.
Zoloft *may* be the least likely to cause these effects. I believe it is chosen over other SSRI's in parkinson's disease. That does not absolve it from possable long term effects, but perhaps.
Taking the least effective dose its probably your best bet.
Coffee seems to have a protective effect against parkinsons, it may be of some use to protect against such changes (?)
