Lexapro

[Rambo]

I have been prescribed Lexapro, and started taking it as of yesterday,
(yeah major depression).

Does anyone know if this has any bad side effects in relation to bodybuilding in general, or to supplements,
currently i'm only taking creatine.

Was'nt that the drug the young guy was on who killed himself and then his parents blamed steroids did it to him? It was in the news for a while and I heard about it on No Bull Radio.

Don't stop taking them as soon as you start feeling better. Depression takes months or years to heal. Besides the side effects will disappear almost completely after a few weeks.

I have read that athletes use all types of anti depressants for sports such as track and field. I guess when you are in a better mood you will be able to lift more or even run faster. I can only assume that you have tried to lift while you were depressed. It wasn't a very good workout was it? If you lift when you are in a good mood you tent to lift more right? I would say take the lexapro and make yourself happy because depression will for sure hinder your workouts way more than any anti depressant drug.

How can anti-depressants help an athlete? Consider that the symptoms of depression and overtraining are very similar. These drugs have been used for this reason, to help a seriously overtrained athlete continue pushing hard, but I haven't read about any rampant use of them. Other psychoactive drugs are popular, such as modafinil.

I find the same happens with celexa.

I had to take Lexapro after Clomid ripped my head off and shit down my neck. Worked well for me and didnt have any noticeable side effects. Didnt effect my training either. Lexapro is a newer generation ssri that is in general, a cleaner drug. Peace.

zoloft

zoloft

It wasn't zoloft it was lexapro. It is in the current issue of MD.

All SSRIs like Lexapro increase the suicide rate FOR KIDS. When you're an adult that shouldn't be a problem.

And the kid that killed himself was told by his doctor to stop taking steroids immediately WITHOUT doing PCT. Which is not a very smart move especially not for someone who is already depressed.
