Hi Johann-
I am glad to hear someone else has these issues. I take zoloft and buspar and after an unusually hard workout, I have rebound anxiety and strange depression feelings (which is not my usual state). After a couple of days, things balance out again.
My theory: exercise increases the metabolization of medication. That is, the sensation of having less medication in the body.
I am not a doctor and my own pdoc says he "has never heard of this." But over the years, I have a couple of strategies to deal with this problem. 1. Don't exercise too hard all at once, but moderately with more frequency. 2. Lower impact exercise seems to agree with me more and cause fewer side effects in general. 3. Give yourself a day or two in between exercise bouts, though you say this didn't help you before. 4. If you are embarking on a period of more intense exercise, consider upping your doses (for me, upping the buspar did the trick).
Good luck to you. I wish there were more answers out there. Best, jflange
