I have been taking nortryptline 50 mg, lithobid, 600 mg day, and tranzen 15 to 22.5 a day. I cannot work out or my mood goes to total hell. I used to work out like crazy and now nothing or my mood crashes. I have found, by posting here, that other people on the same or mother drug of nortryptline have had similiar problems. I have had this usually after a few weeks to months after starting a program. I make sure I get enough salt so my lithium level doesn't increase, but to no avail it is happening sooner now, like a few days after working out(age related?). Most people have hinted that it is probably the TCA. I have not heard of people with this problem on ssri's so I intend to give lexapro a shot in the near future. If I can successfully switch AD's I will start very slow and work up to excercising very slowly. I sometimes wonder if I need the AD anymore if it is causing such a problem? It is indeed perplexing.
