Does anyone know if Propecia has any effects on prolactin and dopamine. Less dopamine and more prolactin will result in seaxual side effects (just like SSRI's do) unrelated to estrogen.

Propecia affects a lot of hormones when you get side effects. The dopamine/prolactin ratio is affected negatively, since prolactin is upregulated by estrogen. I've no experience with SSRI's. In case of Propecia, it affects your libido, sexual arousal and refraction period.

It's associated with heavy side effects. Use Dostinex (cabergoline) instead. 0.25 mg twice a week for 2-4 weeks, is sufficient.
