antidepressants dont really make me happy just from taking them but allow me to feel happy more often due to not having depression clouding my brain all the time

if u dont have depression i dont know, it is common to lack emotions on ap’s and sometimes even just due to negative symptoms like anhedonia and having a flat affect

There is no such thing as happy pills. I doubt that AD’s will help you.

I never found antidepressants made me “happy”, at best they numbed the depression a little bit. I’ve only been on two of them. Paxil and Effexor, both had similar withdrawals when I quit but Effexor was way more intense. My depression faded a few years ago but it was with me for over a decade.
