Working out on antipsychotics

Is it hard for you guys to do weight lifting and other exercises. To me it is very hard but I take my time to do them; I get fatigued easily.

I get tired easily too, but for me it’s because I need to work out more.

Yeah avolition is annoying

I get fatigued too. My new trick is to have a little caffeine before working out. It helps me a bit.

Age and AP medication have really slowed me down. I went into the weight room and tried to work out like I did when I was 25, and afterwards I was so sore it took me five minutes to put on a shirt. I think I am going to blow off my med’s and get on steroids - just kidding.
