In the many years in which nardil was working for me, I was extremely active, modern dance, tennis, then the treadmill. I never found that exercise in itself perpetuated less depression--I somehow think I am not subject to the reported endorphin release. The better I feel, the more inclined I am to exercise but it doesn't have a positive circular rebound. If I am depressed and force myself to exercise, there is no noticable different in depression after exercise, aside from being "proud" of myself.shelli
