I'm not sure how long this excessive fragility has been going on, but one change when I started Buspar is that when my anxiety finally started to settle a bit, I noticed that I was more aware of my depression. That might have been when the crying started.
I'm still able to respond to things that I find pleasurable most of the time. Not all the time, so I know there's some pretty significant depression going on, but enough of the time that I think I can survive a while longer. But I feel so very fragile, emotionally, an am crying so much more easily.
Lsst night, though, was something new. Last night, I didn't just start a little crying -- I was ready to lie down on the sofa and just sob. It felt as though I was drowning. And this morning, I'm not much better.
I'm taking 450mg Wellbutrin XL, and 5mg Buspar TID. Because we're still trying to get me pregnant, there aren't a lot of options for medications for me right now. I'm just not sure what to do.
I'm halfway hoping that excessive weeping is a rare side effect of Buspar, or that someone has some other ideas of medications that are Category B that might help.
Also, I had a problem with Ambien last night. The last time I took it, I hallucinated. (Called my husband to come up and see it...) It didn't bother me, because I knew it was Ambien, and I still went right to sleep. That was several weeks ago. Last night, I took one because I was so weepy, and was still fast awake and tense and a bit weepy for the better part of an hour. Does anyone have any helpful information about that? Does it mean that Ambien is not likely to be helpful to me for a while? That last night was likely a fluke? That space aliens are going to perform experiments on me?
If anyone has any advice or comments, they're appreciated.
