In reply to cold sensitivity and depression meds, posted by Elizabeth on June 14, 2002, at 0:42:31
I've felt the cold too much my whole life - About October I start hoping for spring and warmer weather. Dexadrine seems to help it - and also fixes my Orthostatic-Hypotension.
Elizabeth, I haven't seen you posting here of late - hope it means you are busy and doing well. I've lost my old link to do Medline searches. Hoped you would have it. Really hope you are doing OK.

> All my life I've been extremely intolerant of cold. Every year, as soon as autumn arrives, I start carrying the whole kit (hat, gloves, scarf, etc.) with me everywhere I went (for most of the year, anyway) in case it got chilly or I stayed out later than I'd intended or whatever. A lot of times when I was standing at a bus station or something, I'd be the only person there who was completely bundled up and I'd still be freezing. Sometimes I wore a coat indoors. I cultivated a nice collection of long underwear. You get the idea.
