The tears do stop and then you will feel numb. Sorry, that's been my experience. ;)
Do you think a SAD light might help? I don't know if anyone else mentioned it in their responses to you because I couldn't be *rsed to read them. :) But maybe that might help.
I understand the crying though. And for me, I will cry ANYWHERE because I can't stop it. I will start crying on the bus or walking down the street.
Um, not an uplifting reply. Just know that you are not alone, and there are things you can try. Really. :) :)

> I can't seem to stop. I have (had) been doing well on my maintenance dose of Paxil CR, but the past few weeks I have noticed myself slipping (my pdoc was concerned about the winter months because he has a lot of patients who get more depressed or have a recurrence of depression during that time). I thought, maybe, it was just because of a stressful situation in my workplace which is causing a lot of uncertainty and gossiping, but, usually, exercise can help me unwind and take my mind off of things like that. The past couple of weeks I have been crying everyday and feeling irritable and nervous. I increased the Paxil back up to 25mg for the past 2 weeks, and all it is doing making me tired. It is a seasonal thing, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. I see my pdoc next Saturday, so I am definitely going to ask about changing the AD I am on. In retrospect, the Paxil CR, even at a dose as high as 50mg for many months, only really just took the edge off and helped me get more active again. I feel like a bloody loser.
