I would love a medication to make me a different person! Seriously, I've been on most of the meds and none of them made me a different person. They don't create personality changes as a rule. They are meant to be mood stabilizers. Unless it's a strange side effect, they usually make it easier to be yourself. There is no magic pill that will ever make me outgoing. I think that they were trying to be hopeful and let you know you would feel better but they may have scared you instead.
