A member asked:
Can i continue my normal physical training ( jogging etc) while taking 20 mg escitalopram for anxiety?

I should think so!: That's a very good idea. In fact, unless there is a medical reason you did not mention - i think it's a great idea to continue all of the things you enjoy that are healthy. I'm assuming that your gp has ruled out cardiac problems before heading you toward anxiety treatment. If not, please do have an exam to rule out heart problems. But if clear, run for it!
