Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So I started Paxil about a week ago. So far the side effects aren't too bad. But lately I've sort of become an emotional mess. I'm not a big crier, but now I can't seem to control it. I'm wondering if the meds have anything to do with it? Has anyone experienced this with new medication?

It could be the meds or the depression. Give it some time, see what happens.
