Can you exercise while taking AD

Can you exercise while taking Sertraline. Does it affect the way Sertraline works? I want to lose some weight.

I see no reason why not. I was on Sertraline(Zoloft) for many years and was never informed that I should not exercise or anything of the sort. And I had some jobs that involved lots of physical activity.

Not as far as I know. In addition, I should add that exercise is generally considered GOOD for depression, so if anything, I would think that it would help you.

Yes exercise is good for depression. You should not be worried about exercising when on APs. It’s the best thing you can do for your health.

I was asking about exercise on AD

Yes, I meant AD. You should exercise. It is recommended and probably even more important than the AD is.

I think exercise is good but from my understanding it does cause the medicine to be metabolized faster in the body. I’m not a doctor tho
