Yes, Phillipa, I take 20mg Lexapro, which I believe is an SSRI, and have been taking it for two and a half years. I also just started a few months ago 50mg Lamictal, which is an epilepsy med that also has antidepressant properties (although I guess that's been debated). I've never heard not being able to cry as a side effect of SSRIs. Could it be that you are anxious or nervous or something when you take them and that's why you feel unable to cry? Or maybe you aren't dealing with the same issues, so they aren't provoking you as badly? I don't know, just thinking out loud here.
