Hi Shawn,
Do you have any ideas about why exercise is such an effective antidepressant for so many people? When I'm on an antidepressant, my meds don't seem to kick in until I've exercised, but the exercise has to be pretty intense and sustained. Although walking is an excellent exercise, just plain walking doesn't provide much of an antidepressant effect for me. I have to get my heart rate and breathing up for at least 30-45 minutes. Once the antidepressant effect kicks in, it lasts for at least 12 hours or until I wake up the next morning. Then, like Sisyphus, I have to start all over again!
