Erratic Crying Spells

I am genuinely perplexed by what's happened to me and I've been to countless unhelpful doctors. Last April, I had a panic attack, was placed on Klonopin; returned to my doctor to get off the benzo; rx'd Lexapro. I had an odd reaction to the Lexapro-as soon as I started it, I had uncontrollable fits of crying. I've never experienced anything like this before; taken off it then put back on by another doctor up to 40mg. Then, I was placed on prozac-still have the uncontrolled crying...I am so confused by this. Are these signs that ssri's are not right for me? Are these something that will pass? I'm fearful to try other meds because of this....

    Vit B12 is linked to the nervous system so if you are low in this you need to take a supplement.  Depression can also be caused or made worse by lack of vit D.  x
