Soo i have recently joined the local athletic club and i saw that they had a sauna.. i heard it relaxes.. and with my anxiety thats exactly what i need!! :) i take 50 mg of Zoloft for 2 months now, and i was just wondering if it is safe to sit in the sauna for say 15-20 minutes? i heard sweating when on an antidepressant/anxiety medication is bad. soooo i was wondering if anyone else knows anything about this? i am also on an antibiotic for a UTI recently :/ from the hot tub. so sauna safe or not?

Thanks!

I don't know the answer on this one...but I know that I get woozy from prolonged heat exsposure. The sauna/dry heat is easier to take than the hot tub for me personally.

I would ask your dr. or pharmacist about this one.:)

Otherwise, enjoy your club ammenities...the machines and group classes are awesome (usually) I recommend getting a free initial training session (they should not make you pay more for a one time introductory lesson!) so that you can get the most out of the facilities and know the equipment!

I hope you find the answer you are looking for, and post back if you find out...others may be interested in knowing this.
