Title: When will the tears start to fall?
Post by: Shawn Sunshine on August 06, 2014, 02:07:05 PM
 ??? I have now been on estrogen for 10 days and spiro for one month, but all my feelings have been pleasant ones so far, but mild and starting to taper off a little. I did have one day though so far where I felt cranky and wanted to chew someones head off. But so far no tears, I just haven't been sad. Not even sad movies are making me sad. Is this something that can just happen at any time>? I was sort of expecting it to happen but honestly, nothing. The well is dry. I simply just feel happy.

(On a side note also taking Lithium now, this is a new medicine for me as well)

Well Lithium is a mood stabilizer so might counter react to the estrogen moods.

But if and when they come might be just out of the blue and in public.

Just make sure tissues are packed in you handbag.

yeah I am also Bi polar, and gotta say the Lithium is helping loads, and was not expecting it to make me feel good. I also was taking Celexa but stopped that 2 days ago per my doctors suggestion as it was ramping me up too much.

I ball my eyes out at the slightest things. Mind you I was like that long before I transitioned.

10 days is barely enough time for it to be in your system. You shouldn't even be thinking about brain chemistry changes until several months.

i have in the past cried at movies, in fact a lot more at movies than real life. I always cry when a dog dies.
