    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.


    Thankyou it’s put my mind at ease I love working out so don’t want to stop over medication

    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.
