Unfortunately...it depends. Shitty answer, I know, but these drugs do different things for different people, and even the placebo effect can make a major difference in how you feel (or in my case, the reverse placebo effect). For me, SSRI's (Lexapro, Prozac, Zoloft) were quite numbing and anxiety-inducing. Fortunately, there were no physical side effects, withdrawal, etc. from quitting! Lamictal and Wellbutrin have been moderately stimulating mentally and creatively, though Wellbutrin seemed to leave me a bit cold emotionally. Klonopin and Xanax did wonders for me as needed, they helped restore a sense of balance when I was feeling awful, panicky, or just fucked up in general. YMMV.
