An SSRI works by increasing overall serotonin. Ie more serotonin gets to all the receptors. When some of these receptors get more serotonin, nasty side effects start to immerge.

An serotonin/dopamine agonist generally activates only one type of serotonin recptor, and theoretically doesn't activate the bad receptors.
