As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor Zoloft increases serotonin. It also has a small effect on dopamine so unlike other antidepressents it might not lower dopamine after a long period of time.
Instead she might look into a large amount of noni powder, maybe 3 tsp. per day, and a small amount of mucuna pruriens for a little dopamine, maybe 500 mg or 1/2 tsp. per day, and 500 mg L-tryptophan and iron for serotonin synthesis. Use caution if taking L-tryptophan in combination with an SSRI because the combination might lead to too much serotonin.
An SSRI and NBE are unlikely to affect eachother. A prolactin activating herb could lower dopamine and vis versa. Out of the above only fenugreek might raise prolactin and only if her levels are already high. It's best to check with a doctor of course but I don't see a problem.
