My right eye has started to weep quite badly more than a year ago at the age of 49. I had also several infections during the year due to the epiphora. The opthalmologist said that there was nothing to do about it and I had just to get used to it. He believes that it may have been triggered by the menopause. I have/had dry eyes anyway which could be a cause. I remember exactly when it started after a day having used extensively the underground and I thought at first that the weeping came from wind/draught. I had mild conjunctivitis and at first we thought I had an allergy. I had three periods of a couple of weeks when my eye was fine (mainly after treatment with antibiotics), but eventually it started again with no particular reason. I have also been in Portugal, New Zealand and a few other countries (warmer or colder) but there was no change whatsoever. I am not stressed and I have not put on makeup for quite a while. However, I very often have pain behind the root of the nose and oddly I feel some pain in the muscles around the eye. I told this to the doctor and he thinks there is no correlation.
I am normally not complaining. However, I do not know about you but I cannot get used to it. I can just accept it.
By the way, a pharmacist told me that a lady started epiphora in her late forties and at 92 she still has it.

I'm hoping you are still signed up to this forum. My symptoms are indentical to yours, if I put my head forward, tears literally drop to the floor. I have tried almost everything I can think of but to no avail. It's debiltating to say the least and, like you, people think I'm crying or about to.
I hate it and would do naything to get rid of it.
