Hiya. I take an antidepressant. I had the very same symptoms that you are experiencing. The antidepressant does not make me "feel better." It just seems to stop the crying.

MS, losing all three cats, assisted living are all major factors for your tears. I get it.

I take lorazepam. One of the side effects of this drug is weight gain. My sugared thought process was if I was going to gain weight with an antidepressant, I may as well be happy getting fat!

But as my disease progressed, the large belly began to impede my ability to put on my slippers. After many years of excess weight, I finally stopped feeding the MS monster lots of sugar in the form of ice cream, donuts, cake, candy and fruit smoothies.

So an antidepressant will stop your involuntary tear factory. I take 14+ pills per day. How many do you take?
