I want to cry but I can’t, why? Can it be because of the meds?

Yes, it’s from the meds. I have a hard time crying most of the time. When I’m super depressed I’ll cry some but other than that the meds numb me out.

I know but it’s better than being overly emotional, don’t you think?

At least you can cry some to get the stress out. That’s a good thing.

This happened to me when I was hospitalized. The psychiatrist prescribed me Risperdal and since the day I started taking it I was unable to cry. I was taking Risperdal during one year. But that was many years ago. Now I’m on Abilify and I can cry if I need to.

Meds often cause a blunted emotional effect making it hard to cry.

I find it hard to cry. I can get to the point of feeling tearful , but as for shedding tears - occasionally there’s a very few. I’m not sure if it’s a mental or physical thing that’s going on .
