A member asked:
Can i continue weightlifting if i am taking antianxiety medicines?

Yes: While you do not provide much in the way of details, such as the specific medications, your age and general health etc., generally anti-anxiety medications would not interfere with your ability to exercise. Just make sure you are sufficiently alert and keep yourself well hydrated.

Sure.: Anti-anxiety medications should have no bearing on weightlifting, and the exercise may just help relieve your anxiety.
