Cipralex and feeling sad

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone experienced days of feeling very sad and crying for no apparent reason while on ciprolax. I feel like since I've started it I have some moments or days where I just want to cry my eyes out and feel overwhelmed and so sad and in a bubble for no reason.
I can't tell if this is a side effect of the pills or if it's the anxiety itself. It's so frustrating.

I spoke to her yesterday she said it isn't the pills and it's just a part of the anxiety and depression. I just hate feeling so sad sometimes for no reason. I think the sadness comes from frustration of still focusing on the breathing. I just get moments where I'm terrified it'll never go away.

Thanks so much. It's soo hard. I'm having such a difficult week. Alot of crying and roller coaster emotions. I have this like constant on edge feeling that I don't know how to get rid of. Some times it leaves but it just comes right back. It's so frustrating. I feel soo overwhelmed right now like I'm going crazy inside :(. I absolutely hate these feelings and miss my old self. I find it so hard to manage when it gets this bad.

Ugh how the heck do we get through this. I hate having that on edge feeling and like this weird sensation in my chest and throat.
I wouldn't say I feel suicidal but some days I feel like giving up and feel so overwhelmed. It's honestly so difficult to see that there is hope and that this will go away.

I will email you. It's easier that way.
And no I wouldn't feel this way. I would be happier and less stressed and able to actually enjoy my life.
Also I have contacted mood disorders and seeing someone on Tuesday night. I'm hoping it's helpful.

You are so sweet thank you so much! Complete stranger but you've helped so much.
What helps for you when you have these emotional days? I'm trying so hard to stay focused and I'm so up and down.

Ugh I can't wait to get to that point. Sometimes I can deal with the anxiety but when it's sadness and anxiety it's like an explosion that I cannot handle.

Can't imagine how difficult it is to have family not understand. Thankfully mine are so supportive but sometimes I feel they don't know what to say anymore.
I've also been trying to write in my journal sometimes that helps. No my fiancé leaves tomorrow and comes back Sunday. He really isn't gone for long but I feel super sad not spending a weekend with him.

I honestly don't even know what I enjoy anymore. I used to work out and I have been trying to get back into it but it's been hard.

Yup  once I started having the panic attacks I stopped working out. I just couldn't find the desire to work out or to be out at the gym alone.
