It is normal to feel happy sometimes, but no one can expect to feel one emotion all the time.
For me, happiness isn't what I am seeking out of medication.
As for the general state of well-being that you might call "happiness", as in a general, positive evaluation of one's life, well, sure, I am hoping for that. But I know that that won't mean I will feel happy all the time.
Medication, for me, is aimed at functionality and good-enough feelings to cope. How my life is then depends on luck and the choices I make.
