Okie...I can't handle the heat either, and it gets stifling here in WV...When it gets up in the mid 90's with high humidity, I can't go outside. Just going from house to car is enough to make me feel ill! The heat here is usually accompanied by very high humidity which bothers me even more!
I just learned this spring that taking antidepressants contributes to heat intolerance, and I never realized this before but during the 15 or so years I've been on this medication, my intolerance of heat has increased yearly. Now i'm breaking the 40 mg. tabs in half (for two months now) and hope to go off the medication entirely eventually. I should add that I am feeling no ill effects by decreasing the medication. I truly feel this is why I'm so heat intolerant!
