GABA drugs like benzodiazepines will have many effects common with alcohol, as alcohol also targets that system among others. SSRIs are a bit more complex as their exact role in depression is not well understood and their effects in general are much less predictable. It could provide a level of mood stabilization, no noticeable mental effect or some undesirable side effects; it’d both depend on the person as it does in depression and what the increase in serotonin in the synapse does beyond help with depression. Without a study, it would be hard to draw any general conclusions.
