& your question is?: I'd like to help but don't see any question here. I can try to guess a question. Psychiatric drug withdrawal can cause your symptoms, though it is a bit unusual to persist for 7 weeks. You might have been reacting to the heat, could also be due to anxiety, or maybe you have a virus. There are good natural alternatives to psych meds; it would be wise to see a holistic md or naturopath for guidance.

Call your MD: Bikram is very intense on the body with great dehydration and exersion. Discuss the potential safety risks of combining that form of exercise with your medications. Your reaction might have been just to the Bikram yoga itself, if you had not been doing it consistently. Many people do not tolerate Bikram and get ill. Consider another form of yoga/exercise.
