In reply to What does 'temperature dysregulation' mean?, posted by oceansun on October 17, 2014, at 23:06:16
I don't know about Topamax, but any neuroleptic can cause temperature dysregulation. Somehow, the D2 action interferes with body heat regulation and so bad things can happen.
For instance: in my sociology class, we talked about "heat waves" and the deaths that result. Especially in urban areas, a lot of the deaths related to "heat waves" are impoverished mentally ill people on neuroleptics. Heat goes up, their body can't regulate heat very well, they stroke out. Sad times :-(
Just watch yourself working out, doing stuff in intense heat, etc.
