And on Zoloft, I almost never cry, even when I want to
I can certainly sympathise. I know anti-depressants are supposed to relieve extreme sadness, but you should still have SOME emotions left. Although the Zoloft wasn't as bad as the Prozac. On Prozac, not only could I not cry, but I couldn't laugh either, and I hated it.
When I was about to get on the medication I'm on now (Cymbalta), I'd spent years not taking anything (after quitting Zoloft for the last time) and I was quite wary of it, because I didn't want to be robbed of my emotions. I still feel like my old self though, and that's a blessing. I even cried last night watching Steel Magnolias, and crying while watching Steel Magnolias is something everybody should be entitled to.
