They don’t make me “happy” but I’m also not simply “sad” without them. They stabilise my mood, they prevent the big dips, the deep abysses, where everything is stupid and bullshit. They enable me to deal a little better with bad shit happening so that not every little fuck-up makes me crash.
Some people might call that “dulling” or similar but I really prefer this over despairing at every little thing.
However, it’s worth noting that, especially in case of psycho-active drugs, everybody reacts differently to them. Most people try a handful of different drugs before they find one that fits. That’s to be expected so if the first one doesn’t work or causes intolerable side-effects, there are plenty alternatives.
