Are you taking an antidepressant? Do you worry about how it might interact with other drugs? While Dr. Daniel Carlet, AOL’s mental health expert, says “unfavorable drug interactions with antidepressants are not a huge problem,” you should still know of a few exceptions.

Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, or Lexapro are all antidepressants. If you are taking one of these and suffer from migraines, be careful. These antidepressants and the family of drugs known as Triptans, which are used to treat migraines, both increase serotonin and may cause serotonin syndrome, which has symptoms that range from mild to severe.

After much introspection, I’ve decided to step down as the fitness expert for GymJunkies.com.

That being said, gymjunkies.com will still be one of the best sources on the internet for no b.s. fitness information.
