Exercise Depression Poll

Posted by Peter S on April 11, 2001, at 0:46:18

Hi all,
All the medications I have taken a)have worked and pooped out or b)not worked at all. I have tried practically every drug on the market (tricyclics, SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, mood stabilizers, dopaminergics, etc, etc.
I gather that research shows that exercise is good for depression. I used to run every day and now I try to bike and hike every day. It does help, but not that much. I'm wondering how much exercise (times per day, hours) are necessary to make a dent in depression. What have people found in their own experience really works? I would much rather exercise than take drugs but I would like to see some results!
Thanks
Peter
