    Viagra is an antidepressant in a very indirect way, in that you usually feel quite a bit happier after making use of its effects!

      At first I thought you were talking about something like whatever-iazid, the first “antidepressant” that was actually an antibiotic and the antidepressive effect was completely accidental. But yeah, I suppose that makes sense, too.

        The fun fact there is that Viagra was developed as heart / blood pressure medicine, its effect on blood flow in other areas was a happy coincidence!
