Quetiapine - I can't cry

I know it's a bit of a marmite drug... But I was finally prescribed this medication about 6 months ago and I love it; it is exactly what I needed and it has stopped a lot of my ridiculous mood swings, suicidal thoughts, flashbacks etc. I am much calmer. However I have realised that I can't cry anymore. I used to cry really easily (too easily!) but now I just can't. Has anyone else experienced this, what can I do? I feel like I just need a big crying session as I have had a hellish few weeks. Thanks

I Can relate to this a bit. I take Q and like you it was quite life changing when I started iit as it meant I could sleep and just calm the brain a bit. Likewise I felt a bit like it suppressed my emotions a bit, I do seem to remember thinking oh gosh I haven't cried for ages (I am, too, a big crier).

However, my ability to cry came back! I think it look a while to adapt, and then I could feel those lows and highs a bit more if that makes sense.

Whatever else, take care
