Hi RJ,
Yes, some antidepressants can have stimulating properties. However, the goal is not to make the person UP. The goal is to take somebody who has perhaps little energy and motivation, and give them a normal level of energy and motivation.
If an individual was getting high on Effexor or wellbutrin, then I would wondering about a misdiagnosis, or the appropriateness of the medication / dose.
The best way to avoid crashing cycling, is to aim for normal. This can be hard for some individuals, who may have had depression for a long time, or who may have bipolar tendencies.
My experience is that the body doesn't try to fight off homeostasis as much as it does either extreme.
