weepiness
I've just taken my 7th injection yesterday. Anyone else spend Saturday fighting off the urge to just cry? My body is also so warm yet I have no fever. Grrr.

I dont usually don't tear up often but have been lately. Today I went to my daughters collage graduation and they let the kids say a few words as they picked up their diploma and she said "I want to thank my dad if it wasn't for him I would not be up here today" I had to walk out side before Iost it.
I cried constantly while on tx. I finished tx feb 24 2012 and it took a month or so to stop the crying, I mean sometimes I would just start crying for no reason at all. I thought I was loosing my mind. I just kept telling myself that it was the meds and that it would get better. Hang in there ok
Did the ADs and glad I did. Only so much roughing it out you can do. Not good when it affects others in your life. Talk to your doc and consider. You have a ways to go and it takes time to recoup after tx so ADs may be worthwhile.
Btw, I like chocolates way better than tx any day. ;-)

Thanks for the info. This treatment is sure like a "box of chocolates". You just never know what you're gonna get! I'm trying to be brave for my daughters so as not to discourage them but it sure is a battle. Thanks so much for the reminder that it's the meds. I have a tendency to think worst case scenario and I'm trying to avoid that kind of thinking on treatment.
The day after my injection was always the worst. During the week things slowly improve. Just remind yourself that it's the meds causing you to feel this way.
oh yes, the weepiness. I had it bad all during tx but now 40 days since EOT I can make it through the day without welling up. And, it was anything that would do it. Happy, sad, exciting, didn't matter. I just went with it. AD were suggested on the forum but I didn't want to do that. Glad I didn't. Hang in there!

This is when I tend to cry the most: when I'm watching T.V., and something sad comes on ( a missing child, on the news, one of those crime shows, with a murder, or an inspirational story about a disabled child, etc)
Also, when I listen to a song that brings up emotions about my past life: So...I wait until I am in the car driving, (by myself) and then turn on the music and let it out!
I feel pretty good, after I let the tears flow, it seems to release the stress nicely, for me, if I can work it in, at the appropriate time. I prefer the tears to the "riba-rage", so if my husband is being awful to me, instead of screaming at him (which tends to escalate on these meds, and I get a sore throat also) ..I will cry instead of raging.
It's the medicine, and an emotional time. For some reason, it has made me go back in time, and I keep having vivid dreams of when I was younger, and more emotional. I think one of the meds (the Interferon?) may make us ladies produce more Estrogen...I will have to look into that one.
I chose not to do any antidepressants, because I have never used them before, and I'm not having any problems functioning at work or anything~
My sister and other friends have had problems getting off antidepressants, they got head-aches, and in an even worse mood, when they tried to with-draw.
I guess, of the antidepressants, Wellbutrin is the least harmful, but they can all trigger Bipolar mania, if Bipolar is in your family history (genetics).
If Bipolar lurks, then a mood stabilizer is the safer choice, I have seen my Doctor prescribe Abilify to other people in my home group.
