It can be an excellent antidepresasnt for someone who's symptoms come from some abnormality in the dopamine/norepinephrine system rather than the serotonin system.
Whether it was an antidepressant effect or a high, well, I think you are probably the best judge of that. Either way, if it was under controlled doses and it improved the quality of your life, that's the whole idea. I think the only drawback is that people who use it for many years report that eventually it doesn't work as well. And then it's hard to get off. But then, every antidepressant I can think of is the same way.
