I have had incredible differences in my ability to work out on meds. Have you changed or increased dosages?
Also, this is really hard, but try right now NOT to think about what you used to do. I can't believe I'm telling someone that because my poor husband has heard me many times cry and whine during phases when I can't run. I digress.
If you cannot run very far right now, your best bet is to briskly walk or try another form of excercise (preferably outside) for the period of time you used to run. That way your getting exercise but not beating yourself up over it thinking about what you used to do, which just aggravates the depression.
I remind myself during these phases when I walk, that many folks cannot even do this, thank God for my blessings and try to be grateful. It's difficult, I know.
