I am a decent female distance runner, low 17's for 5k. I had a year off because of 4 different surgeries, so of course I lost some fitness since then. I have been training since fall of 2019 and have improved, but am not finding my previous level of fitness returning. at the same time I returned to running, seroquel 150mg and lamictal 150mg were added to my zoloft. I have bipolar type II. I also went about 7 months without a day off in my motivation to get back into shape. It's hard to say:
1) am I still behind on the fitness curve from a year off of training and then burning myself out over the past months?
2) has anyone ever been on seroquel or lamictal ? and no, I haven't gained weight. I've actually only lost weight because they killed my appetite at first. I'm 5'3 and 120lbs.
I don't think I was training hard enough, only running 40-50 miles per week for the past few months. I wonder if it is the medication??? Anyone else been on these meds?
