This, yes! Didn't change my personality, just stopped the crying. Over the years I'd try to go without to see if I still needed it, I'd be crying again within days. Eventually I went without and haven't had the problem since - been 10 years maybe.

I'll tell you what, though. When my beloved Sparky dog died, I couldn't cry. The emotions were there just very few brief tears.
