About a year ago I went on Lexapro for a few months for anxiety I was having. I didn't really feel any better so my doc switched me to zoloft and then eventually put me on an MAOI....Since then I have gained 25 pounds over the period of 14 months. A lot of it is actually muscle(I know this based on body comps and strength gains). However while this is nice for appearance and confidence, I feel like absolute crap when I try to do any form of cardio. I'm not entirely sure why this is. Has anyone else had this experience that would like to weigh in? I know that weight gain is a common side effect for antidepressants, but did you find it to be water weight, fat, or muscle? How were the different parts of your workout effected? appreciate anyone experiences.
