psa to everyone on antipsychotics during the summertime
some antipsychotics can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they make it so your body cannot regulate your body temperature correctly. I learned this the hard way last summer, I got really nasty heat exhaustion while on a high dose of quetiapine. so check if your meds react badly to heat, and if they do, please be sure to wear your sunscreen, have light cover ups on or with you, wear a hat, and stay hydrated! be safe
especially duloxetine and clozapine, know the signs of dehydration, take cooling breaks if you have to be in the sun
duloxetine is commonly branded in the USA as Cymbalta.
Those of y’all also on Latuda, same thing applies! Stay cool!
Good info my Drs never told me
same! I found this out after researching why I was so tired and overheating and found this out
