[Mr...] Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I was ct off .75 Ativan for 6 weeks use approx. I didn’t like meds. It was aug 26th and I have had so many symptoms it’s horrible. I can’t regulate my body temp I’m so hot all the time. It’s so bad. Even if I try to stand in sun the sun feels like it’s burning my skin. I hate it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Do...] Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yes Mrt, The part of the brain that regulates temp is not working properly. Science doesn't know exactly why the hormones and receptors are not working in sync to regulate body temp. Many people go through a period where they must avoid heat and humidity of their sxs increase. this was a big deal for me. I just planned the best I could to avoid situations where I could not protect myself from this. I would get very dizzy..then nauseous. Others will chime in...very common.

[or...] Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 My "temperature sensor" was off seriously during my taper. I was hot all the time. But once my taper was over, this miserable s/x disappeared. I believe yours will, too. I hate to say it, but just hang in there. This won't be forever.

[Mr...] Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I was CT or faster taper three months ago. I hate being hot all the time it’s making me crazy. On top of so many other symptoms. Does it seem to pass pretty fast for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[or...] Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It did pass pretty fast. I jumped in the fall and that was the end of my being broiled alive by my benzo taper. It all went away after that. Thank heavens! Katz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mr...] Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Did the sun also feel like it was burning your skin as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cy...] Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi MRT, I too suffer from poor temp reg 24/7 and empathise. Im living in a country where we going through a heat spell at present of over 100 F, it feels like I am burning in hell, and if I go into the sun, my skin burns. I used to easily handle the sun and know I used to sweat more, but dont sweat that much either now while going through withdrawal. Today, all I could do was lie down in front of a fan (have no aircon in the house), all my energy is sapped from me. I've tried to find posts about this, as also really wish to know the timeline. The comments vary saying it could be hormonal or thyroid, but I have had all the blood tests to check these, but all normal. I hope this goes away soon!
