I’ve been on antidepressants and been clinically depressed for over a decade now. It’s kind of hard to explain, but they don’t necessarily make you “happier“, but it makes it easier to cope with it. I forgot to take my medication a lot and sometimes for days at a time. I definitely feel a difference when I don’t take my antidepressant + antipsychotic. I’m crying all the time, stressed out, overwhelmed, and angry. When I do take it, I’m basically just normal. Not necessarily happy, but stable

You might feel a “elevating mood“ IE not being extremely depressed. But not necessarily happy either

Thank you for the information!! Very well put, i’d like to also feel normal, do you mind me asking which antidepressant works for you to make you feel “normal”?
