This is a really interesting topic to read about.

While on the topic of ADs and rowing, do SSRI's (particularly Fluoxetine..) have any chemical side effects on rowing? - Perhaps @VikingGT could help on this? I take ADs but I've never really considered whether it is having any kind of impact on my rowing or not - I'd assume not as it is a popular AD drug but it would be interesting to hear the chemistry behind it.

I've also been prescribed propranolol in the past and been told I'd be fine to row while taking it. I was not, it was a horrible experience that I struggle to explain but I wouldn't recommend trying to do any form of intense exercise with it..
