23 What does it feel like to respond to an antidepressant? Will I feel euphoric if my depression responds to an antidepressant?
The most common description of the effects of antidepressants is that
of feeling the depression gradually lift, and for the person to feel
normal again. People who have responded to antidepressants are not
euphoric. They are not unfeeling automatons. The are still able to
feel sad when bad things happen, and they are able to feel very happy
in response to happy events. The sadness they feel with

is not something that can be had from a pill.
