In reply to Re: Fewer s/e with Lexapro - where's the evidence?, posted by psycHarvard on September 5, 2002, at 23:16:05
I have a question for you maybe you can give me a hint upon the causes. I am at 50 mg nortrypline, 600 mg lithobid, and 15 to 22.5 or tranzene. I have depression with a high level of anxiety. The problem is if I excercise I feel like crap after a regime has been started. Sometimes the next day I will feel more depressed and have sleep disturbances. I have taken care to watch the time I work out, what I do and what I eat. I take in enough sodium so it is not a spike in lithium. I believe it is the TCA somehow. Have you ever run across this? What have atheletes used that have been sucessful to treat anxiety and depression. I am hoping a switch to lexapro will give me the power back to help myself through excercise. Also, what is the deal with increased anxiety with ssri's? I went to a Celexa board and almost 90% complained of worsening anxiety. Any thoughts? Thank you.
PS. I tried remeron and it gave me a "sponge head" and messed with short term memory.
