Subject: Depression and Meds
I saw a thread about this awhile back.  I was wondering if anyone battles this and if so, what meds you're on.  I taking lexapro and since starting it, I feel apathetic about everything and it's killed my training desire.  Anyone experience similar issues?

I have been on Lexapro for about 4 years...although mine is for anxiety/panic and OCD. How long have you been on it? For me, it took about two months before I was back in the swing of things. If you're getting some apathy, but otherwise the drug is working, you may want to ask about adding in something like Wellbutrin or Buspar.

I am not technically depressed but i am bipolar.  I take lithium and  an anti-psychotic drug (for mood stabilizing not psychosis) called seroquel.  Did wonders for my moods, but trashed my body!
