im wondering what other peoples experience with exercise and taking quetiapine are.

generally i take only 25mg max in the evening, sometimes less down to 12mg.

ive noticed since being on quetiapine i get a lot more dehydrated after exercise, dark urine etc , i make sure i drink plenty during and after exercising too but it seems to always be the same result.

and generally the day after my exercise which is generally running or swimming i have a bad exercise hangover and lower mood which i think is related to exercising whilst taking quetiapine?

im thinking of switching meds, as exercising is supposed to be a positive experience but the only issues i have with changing to say aripriprazole is the fact quetiapine calms me in the evening and makes me feel sleepy so works as a sort of sleeping pill too.

id be interested to hear what others may think
