I don't have a problem with depression, but after working in the garden for about 2&1/2 hours I became uncharacteristically irritable and hypercritical. Do I need to premedicate before exercise? I always assumed that exercise would cause the release of endorphins and improve mood. Also, an unrelated question, where do alpha-blockers figure into the above discussion? I heard years ago that Trazadone was thought to work because of alpha-blocking properties, I think this idea has been revised since then. Can anyone comment on possible adverse reactions of moderate to heavy exercise as it pertains to mental health in general?
