Does Anyone Else Have Problems With Anxiety And The Crying?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question ๐Ÿ’ญ

Groups that I have found so helpful and enjoyable before are becoming sources of anxiety and I have to get up and leave. I have be prescribed medication for the anxiety but I hate taking so many pills. I am on a med for the crying though. I start crying sometimes for no reason and just can't stop. This is related to PD encase you hadn't heard about it. I wondered if anyone else is suffering with this like I am. I feel like I am alone with this part of PD, have not found another PD person thatโ€ฆ read more

My doc increased my anxiety med's to see if would help me but I'm careful not to take them unless I have to. Yes crying is part of PD! I thought I was having a nervous break down I cried at everything. Tell your doctor and we are all in this together! Keep asking questions! Charlotte

Oh yes. I started crying 2 weeks after my symptons started. That was in 7/15. Took almost a year for a Dr. to say I think you maybe depressed. Started EFFEXOR XL 225 mgs day . Been on it almost a month. Big changes. IM so much happier. Feel like that its worth living now. I hope Drs can find a workable anti depressant for you. HUGS.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. You are not alone. I had this symptom esp before being diagnosed and before my meds were recently adjusted. I know how out of control it feels when we cry n get almost hysterical quickly and sometimes don't even no why. The substancia nigra the mid brain that is effect by Parkinson's controls "affect" or emotions. It's been weakened so your frontal cortex (lobe) takes over. This frontal lobe is doing double duty now and gets overloaded easily. That's where the crying comes in. Your frontal lobe is saying "I can't do everything all the time!" It's that one last little straw that breaks the frontal lobe ( where critical thinking is done) back. So think of it as your brain telling you oops I'm already doing two jobs n I can't go on. And maybe look into talking to your doctor and seeing about a med check. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
