Best Answer

Antidepressants don't actually "make you happy" - they inhibit chemical imbalances in the body which lead to depression. You might still be unhappy, irritated, etc., but the idea is that the effects are reduced. That aside, the effects of antidepressants vary greatly depending on things such as the specific medication, the dosage, your own body weight and metabolism, etc.

Can you take antidepressants and trip?

The combination of antidepressants and certain drugs can have interesting effects on your brain in a physical sense, not just mental ;) The first thing that comes to mind is Serotonin Syndrome. This is a result of combining drugs that stimulate or mimic serotonin activity (antidepressants) and other drugs that induce a release of serotonin (DXM, LSD, amphetamines, psilocybin, DMT... this is a long list). This can be fatal. For those who aren't familiar with the terms I used, I'll break it down. Antidepressants give you a happy chemical in your brain. Taking certain drugs will give you too much of this happy chemical in combination with antidepressants. If you don't know, don't risk it. It could be a fatal mistake! Props to you for asking. Drugs are risky business and it's ALWAYS best to be educated before you take any of them. You have one body, take care of it.

There are many excellent antidepressants, many of the best are in the class of SSRI antidepressants because they have fewer and less severe side effects than older types (e.g. MAOI antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants).However what works for one person does not for another, so you and your psychiatrist may have to try several before finding a good antidepressant for you.
