Do you mean like Prozac? :)
Other ergoloids are used for breaking really hard to treat migraines. They work exceptionally well at that.
MDMA or analog could be a novel antidepressant.
Ibogaine (also a psychedelic) is already used for smoking cessation sometimes. Works relatively well, all things considered, but not without risks (cardiac). Now they're trialing it for alcoholism in Brazil. Maybe a chemical variant that is safer could be devised if not for the dumb prohibitions.

And don't even start on THC and CBD.
