Hi !
I get this every time I exercise too. I am on an SSRI and buspar and it takes me a few days to recover from a big workout.
I have tried a few things that work:
I played with my dose (upped it)
I worked out doing low-impact exercise (hiking, walking, weights, resistance, etc.). Short, intense workouts seemed to be the worst.
I never exercise two days in a row, since the effect seems to be cumulative and I need to give my body a day or two to recover.I don't know the cause behind it, and my pdoc, whom I trust, said he had never heard about it in "the literature" so it's uncharted waters. My guess is that it has something to do with the speed the body metabolizes the drug, so that whatever optimal available dose you have established in your body gets somehow diminished. Other people I know think it's the lactic acid build up in the muscles that somehow interacts with the chemistry.
But what do I know? I am not a neurologist! :)
Be well,
jflange
