anti-depressants given to those not depressed

Posted by catachrest on September 4, 2003, at 9:51:32

I was telling my sister the other day about the bizarre dreams I have since I started Effexor XR(the highlight of my day is before I even wake up - I go to bed wondering what adventure I'll have this night!)and she jokingly asked what effect the medication would have on her if she wasn't depressed - she wanted to try out these dreams! She wasn't really serious, of course - for one thing, it's really too expensive for that kind of use. But it got me thinking - would anti-depressants have any positive effect on a non-depressed person, aside from the side effects? Thoughts, anyone?
