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.

Hey Amet,

Wanted to reply to this.

I dont take meds for anxiety so unfortunately I couldnt answer that question. You need to speak to the dr who prescribed them  To answer your question from a non-pharmaceutical position,
 when the panic attacks are bad, yes I cry for absolutely no reason largely cuz Im frustrated , afraid and exhausted.

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.
