Just wondering who experiences heat intolerance here. I used to be fine but now that my lithium is up to 1200mg I have become super heat intolerant and I get tired so easily and have no motivation to run. I’m training for a half marathon and I haven’t ran once in the past week except tonight and I could only manage 25 minutes before I got overheated and exhausted. For reference two weeks ago I ran 8 miles as part of my training program, now it’s like i just don’t have it in me…

I have it. But it doesnt really make me tired i think. More makes me have hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) and to feel way too hot for the temperature around me. I could barely withstand direct sunlight the other day haha. Was like instantly burning me.
My old pdoc said that i need to avoid the sun as much as possible while on meds. But at the same time she said that its like charging a battery when i soak up too much sun. Can make me too energetic and almost manic apparently. So wierd! Haha.

Believe it or not these things can change. It might take an alternative med.
It used to be bad when I worked in an office and people constantly messed with the AC cold/heat
Antipsychotics can screw with your heat and cold regulation system. You can easily get hypo and hyper thermia.
