Antidepressants don't make you HAPPY....
They simply help keep you from feeling horrible

Exactly.
Antidepressants basically kill your emotions. They do not fix you. Think of it as taking away all your emotions, and making you into a zombie. The problem is, that while you are like that, you are not addressing, or changing the issues that had gotten you to that point in the first place.
Unless you are seeing a psychotherapist and working on the underlying issue, you will never get better. Antidepressants should be nothing more than a quick fix at the beginning if you are having grief, like death of loved one, etc, where you can't function.
But you should wane yourself off of them ASAP as you learn to confront your demons, and find new coping techniques. Otherwise, when you stop taking them, the same problems are there. So you accomplished little in happiness.
