Do antidepressants make you more social?

That is difficult question. Once your depression is under control, you may very well feel more comfortable interacting with others. However, often the inhibitions that prevent you from being social need to be addressed in psychotherapy.
It depends on if your depression inhibited your social interactions. Antidepressants do not usually result in a person being more social.
It could possibly especially if you have a lot of social anxiety.
Antidepressants don't just treat depression–they can make us more sociable, too.
