Am I alone in the fact that I can no longer cry? I realized this when I had to put my dog down a few months ago. I have the feeling of sadness but tears don’t come out. Does anyone have this problem? FYI, I was on finasteride for 8 years then quit in 2018.

It’s not uncommon. I have this, too. In very rare moments I am close to crying, and once I realize this, the feeling goes away immediately. Very weird. But I have this with several aspects of my blunted affect. There is no fire, but sometimes there is a hint of glimmer.

Your comment is spot on. I wonder what causes this…
I have this too. I think its because of the dopamine/serotonin plus several other hormone imbalances due to enzyme/receptor issues. And also the gut microbiome could play a role here. I found that on certain probiotics can have effect on this issue. But there is so much more on the brain-gut-axis to solve, that only probiotics cant solve it. But I think there is a connection with the gut dysbiosis.
