Sweating out meds when exercising?

Posted by ivoovi on December 23, 2001, at 13:56:56

Hi, I'm on 1000mg Depakote, 400mg Wellbutrin, and 1500mg Neurontin.
The problem is that the day after a really intense workout I'm extremely depressed, not tired, depressed. I drink LOTS of fluids before during and after the workout, and mantain a very healthy diet. I can't pinpoint the problem.....am I sweating out the meds lowering their concentrations? I always come back and feel better in a couple days.....

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
I experience the same problem as you, and have long suspected that it is due to the theory you postulate. I've been told that lithium has to be adjusted if the patient will be perspiring profusely. It will be interesting to see what others have to say.

Hi,
I notice you wrote that you are on 400 mg. of Wellbutrin. I'm on 300 mg. and was told by my doc that's the highest one can go....???
