I've taken 6 other anti-depressants and none prevented exercise. Regular exercise is imperative for my mental health. In times of increased stress, I exercise more.

In studies, exercise was shown that it can be as effective as anti-depressants for mild to moderate depression.

But when in doubt, ask your doctor.

Don't take advice regarding questions about your medication from people on the internet. Ask your doctor.

Or ask your pharmacist--they might be a little easier to track down these days! They also tend to know more about side effects and interactions than the doctor does.

When I started blood pressure medicine I wasn't sure if it would make me feel dizzy or anything so I just took it slowly to see what I could tolerate and built up to where I wanted to be.

Call your doctors office and also talk to your Pharmacy. Much more reliable than random internet strangers. Just sayin. If you’re concerned about it, get a reliable answer. What worked for someone else may or may not be appropriate for you. Hope it all works out.
