Abilify/aripiprazole And Heat Intolerance

[Maggiemay]

So, been on 5mg for 2 weeks, due to go up tonight... Lots of the side effects have settled (nor sure if some of then we're withdrawall too) but struggling with restlessness (not surprising considering I'm still manic!) & horrendous iintolerance to heat.

It's absolutely suffocating and constant - am in the UK - weather has been nice, but still mild but I'm overheating (even right now @ 7 in the morning, outside in the cool breeze). I don't know what to do and if I can put up with it, especially when effecting my teaching... Urgh!!! I don't even know if I can do anything to stop it... *sigh* Anyone have any ideas about what to do?

I had the same problem on Abilify and it was very uncomfortable. My doctor took me off of it.

Still struggling - air con in my classroom is good, but having a support assistant who keeps putting the heating on and winding the kids up saying it's cold isn't... Sigh... Only two people at work know what's going on, and neither are in my class... Boo!
