Look at Roger Rivière, right? While I think it more likely that he simply overcooked it trying to keep up with a better descender, anti-doping mythology has it he crashed cause of the drugs he was using to try and get over the climbs.
On the prevalence of anti-depressants: Riis talks about trying different drugs to find what worked for him and that is true of doping in general. Without wanting to get into the myth of the super-responder, not everything works the same for everyone. I don't think Prozac is going to help someone who's naturally an Energizer bunny of energy and in fact would probably have a negative effect on them.
On anti-depressants in general: some, like DHEA, are used not for their mental health impact.
