Can SSRIs make you high?

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are primarily used to treat depression and anxiety by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. They are not designed to produce a "high" like recreational drugs do and generally do not have euphoric effects. In some cases, individuals may experience side effects or changes in mood, but this is not the same as the high associated with substances that alter perception or induce euphoria. Misuse of SSRIs can lead to serious health risks and is not recommended.
