I'm just about to test this theory. I think exercise is the only thing that helped me get through the last four years. It really is the best natural antidepressant around. I felt better about myself and I had a much ahppier outlook on life once I began lifting weights, and then I added aerobic exercise later. Things finally got so bad I went to a counselor and then started meds. Due to life's busyness unrelated to the meds I have not exercised much since I started taking the meds. However, I've been on Effexor XR for almost six weeks and I confess I have lacked motivation to exercise. Tomorrow night is the first Tuesday I have had the chance to go to my "regular" aerobics class since I started these meds - so I'll keep you posted.
