Asking For Self, Male 24, lahore
i have been taking anti-depressant (prozac 20 mg , quetiapine 25 mg and initial lorazepam for 3-4 months) since 1 year and 4 months , now i feel like that my muscle strength has lost and my muscular injury heals up very slowly and power is also very less. Kindly suggest me what to do?
You should involve yourself in proper exercises and physiotherapy counseling. Do not do any exercise without physiotherapy consultation.
You need to indulge into strength training program it will increase ur strength and as well as staima. Weight training is the best one to strengthen ur muscles and to minmimze ur depression. But dont start any exercise without supervision of a competent physiotherapist.
Regards
if you are doing yoga, swimming and jogging and getting muscle strength loss or aches, you might be doing too much for your body.
see some physiotherapist to make the right exercise plan for you.
also check with your psychiatrist for side effects of anti depression medication.
Do strengthen exercise..
consult a physiotherapist first who can assess and plan exercise for you.
as far as anti depressant are concern it can stabilize the mood of the patient but when he or she face the same stressors in life the depression reverses. in many cases the depression is Psychogenic in nature and in that case psychotherapy is the best recommended solution.
with passage of time anti-depressants lose its effectiveness and you might need to change the dose that a psychiatrist can recommend.

Anti depression medication suppose to slow down the nerve impulses and so the muscle strength, It also cause muscle fibers to lost and that could be the reason of decrease muscle strength. I will strongly recommend you to get through your blood tests and start daily walk as a general measure to insure large muscle group activity. Also share your complete signs and symptoms for taking these medications so that I may guide you better.
