You make some good points. All I know from my experience, dilated pupils and all, I have had a very intense response to antidepressants. The first time I tried an AD I was on Prozac. Looking back I realize I was in a moderate mixed episode, it was pretty awful. For the first three weeks on Prozac, I really just felt the same-agitated, couldn't stop obsessing over things and regretting things, couldn't get good sleep, couldn't focus, could relax, had constant anxiety, etc. Right around 3 weeks into taking Prozac I took the little pill when I woke up and within the hour I felt like a new person, it was amazing-anxiety was obliterated, sleep was great, no more obsessing or regretting, more focused than ever, and felt about as comfortable as I ever had-and this lasted for 2 years, 9 mths on Prozac and 15 months following being off Prozac. Now, I know of no reports where someone in a mixed bipolar episode just spontaneously got better, better than they were ever in their life, and stayed better without any treatment intervention, it just doesn't happen.

I just think saying antidepressants don't work is like saying that antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and ADHD drugs don't work.
