Morning crying episodes

Long story short: I’ve had bouts of crying out of nowhere twice this week with similar time frames and no obvious triggers.

This morning I woke up when the dog needed to go out and the cat was crying to be fed. I slept through the night and got 7 hours of sleep when i normally get 6.
I had good momentum and motivation.
After about an hour and a half I started feeling like I needed to cry and gave myself a little headache trying to keep it from happening.
I was scrolling instagram and there were a lot of nostalgia posts especially music. I also had Ted Lasso on and it’s the episodes when the therapist comes in.
I would say maybe that triggered it but it also happened within the same timeframe on Monday on the way to work. I had stressful things coming up at work but it was good stress compared to what I’ve been dealing with the past couple months. This is the 4th time I’ve watched Ted Lasso too and I can listen to 90s and y2k music non stop with no issues.
I’m on lamictal and vyvanse and I take caplyta at night. I’ve been on caplyta for a few months and it was life changing after months of worsening depression that I wasn’t aware of. So these bouts of crying feel like they’re out of nowhere.
I probably need to call my therapist. I don’t think I need to call my doc early quite yet because everything else has been fine.
Has anyone had this experience without feeling depressed?
