They help take away my emotional pain but no, they don’t actually make me happy.

I think expecting them to make you happy is not good.
A more realistic thought would be to hope they make you less sad.
Nobody is happy all the time, but nobody should be sad all the time either, and antidepressants can help take that away.

Serotonin does make you happy, but I’m leaning towards GABA to be chill and calm.
whats gaba ?..
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is one of your body’s primary neurotransmitters, and acts to calm your central nervous system (CNS). Research has shown the GABA supplement to be effective in natural treatment for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction

I was depressed, but I’m tired of the side effects. In no way am I saying to stop ADs, if they help stay on them.

Antidepressants just give you the ability to be happy, not make you happy. They lift the depression that would typically cement you in negativity.

Yeah I think they just balance your brain so you don’t feel depressed all the time.
my antidepressant is wellbutrin which not only made me quit ciggies, but I actually enjoy living life everyday. I guess I’m happy. at the least i look forward to tackling life for another day. its really not that bad, if it is you need to talk to your doc about a med adjustment.
