Hi, that might be a side effect to the medication. Usually side effects go away within the first 2/4 months of taking them. It also could be other issues. What’s been happening in your life?

If this is the first time of taking any form of anti depressant then it's possibly because your body is trying to adjust to the medication. Weirdly anti depressant medication usually makes you feel worse before you feel better 😪 which is why everybody always says you need to give them at least 6 weeks before saying that they are not working. Hang in there, it's tough, but you will feel better xxx

Welcome to the group! I take this medication as well. It made my anxiety lessen too. Until I broke up with my boyfriend.

Any reason why you’re crying? Is something bothering you?
