> I have been taking effexor (225mg) for close to 2 yrs. I was taking remeron and dexadrine also but have stopped. I take 5mg pindolol to help the effexor. Over these two yrs. my weight has steadily increased. But the worst thing is I cannot work out like I always have in the past. I have no stamina. I used to run 5 miles without much trouble. Now I do well to run slow for 60 seconds before I have to stop and rest! My P Doc doesn't know why this would be. If anyone can help me understand this, P L E A S E follow up!!!!!!!!!!

> box986sterBack when I was taking various SSRIs @ moderately high doses I had to give up weight-training. My limbs would become fatigued so quickly that I could no longer train to anything like 'true' exhaustion, making gains impossible. This of course rendered the whole exercise pointless.
Like you I found the phenomenon to be puzzling to say the least, but at least you're not alone!
