Fitness is very important to me, how has Lexapro effected it? Doing some research it seems like results vary, with some saying not much effect, but others saying there is a noticeable difference to your perceived effort. Running, cycling lifting ect are important to me, and it will make me feel sad if I am taking a drug that makes my performance worse.

I have specific reasons for sadness that I don't know how to fix. I have been avoiding SSRIs because in my mind, I will still just be sad for these reasons, and will just be risking making myself feel worse from the side effects. I have already been in therapy for years and it hasn't made much of a difference.

Good idea bad idea?
