Fortunately it does'nt usually happen at real inappropriate times, but they do last for a l-o-n-g time. Like it was'nt THAT funy. Also I have noticed excessive yawning and involuntary sighing(taking in a deep breath)Maybe to get air in the lungs I do'nt know. My FVC is 86% I have bulbar onset form of ALS with the crying and laughing spells. Fortunately it does’nt usually happen at real inappropriate times, but they do last for a l-o-n-g time.

Something that has always happened on SSRI's for me has been uncontrollable yawning. They aren't pleasant yawns, rather I'm left with jaw and tongue tension much like I would have just before vomiting. Doing some research today and was surprized that more research hasn't been done about yawning. I'll be adding it to my symptoms. I’m in your mood community for depression.

I still suffer excessive yawning and emotional lability but the cough disappeared when I lost my voice.

I still suffer excessive yawning and emotional lability but the cough disappeared when I lost my voice.

I find this very interesting because for years I had this "habit" , and since gettingdx'd with MS and taking different meds for my mood problems , had noticed a significant decrease .. I still yawn, but for years and years prior to dx'ing , people often asked if I was tired , my ex would say stop , you yawn too much and I basically would have to sneak off somewhere to try to stop .. My 1st MRI that showed the lesions, also showed one that was termed "older" , and now I am thinking that this may be a connection .. thanks , agserra Hello - I am from your patientslikeme MS site ..
