Thats what they're intended to do, but unfortunately they don't always work that way.
Recalling that the MAOI drugs were actually discovered based on their propensity to make normal, nondepressed people feel better than well.
I'm not saying that everybody goes "manic" on these drugs, but I am saying that they are powerfull, and that they can influence many aspects of contiousness.
I recall feeling slighly better than well on certain antidepressants. I had no symptoms of mania, but I just felt better than well.
That fact influcence many aspects of my life, and influenced many decisions I made about treatment.
That is why, in many ways I would consider them addictive. My behavior resembled that of a junkie in many ways.
