Thanks to everyone for the thoughts. I received around twenty very thoughtful and helpful responses.
It is amazing what a great resource the Obra community can be!

Subject: [OBRA Chat] SSRI advice

I would like to know if any of you all have experience with SSRI's and cycling. I have been taking Lexapro for anxiety and depression for two weeks and it has not been working for me. The biggest problem is being constantly tired. I can hardly train for an hour with a heart rate around 100.
So I stopped taking it today and am going to the doctor Monday morning and probably going to get a new medicine. Any thought on something that does not cause constant lack of energy?
I have read a little on line and found maybe a few pointers towards Celexa and Prozac, but they were vague. Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you have input on therapy as well I may be interested in hearing what you have to say as I am approaching this from several angles.
Thank-you
David
