"i am 58 yo active woman with full time career. i began to obsess about my father&#039;s death. every thing i saw reminded me of him and was painful. i cried over mishaps at home or thinking about a beloved pet that had died. work was my relief but as soon as i got home the sadness started. my md started me on lexapro, which wasn&#039;t good for me. i suffered through work for a day but was too spacey. my job requires strong concentration skills. prozac next which made me yawn like a lion. by week 3 i did not feel sad, but felt sick and had yawns like a lion. i then started cymbalta and felt this was the most gentle antidepressant so far but then my eyes became swollen and dry. i couldn&#039;t wear contacts! i gave up on antidepressants and started exercising.
