This is my annual repost of this! Slightly later than last year, but all of it is still important!
Stay hydrated, stay out of the sun for too long if your medication affects that, and remember to get electrolytes along with your water!
Yupyup! o7
oh yeah, always good to share this around
Cymbalta had me standing in a tank top and cutoffs in gray pnw rain. 👍
Yup, I take citalopram and I can't handle hot weather for terribly long without shade and a drink. Or even a room that's slightly too hot from a combo of physical activity and the heating system indoors.
this is v good to know
gasp venlafaxine now i can blame you for my brain working at 45% capacity through july and august
>sertraline which I've been on half of my life+

ah. escitalopram
Here I thought my heat intolerance was just autism related!
I’m on at least two of these meds
Thank you!!
yuuup
do you have any info that isn't paywalled? I can't get through the washinton post, and the ncceh is saying access denied
I am so glad this gets reposted every year.
latuda users, break out the sunscreen and avoid grapefruit!
my temperature coping was bad BEFORE citalopram and i go from fine to Pathetic in no time flat these days.
brains better tho. worth.

joyriding: ah, heck. I didn't follow up on the links this year to see if they were still good
if you're using Chrome or Firefox, there seems to be some extensions that can help you bypass paywalls...
alright, the ncceh article has been replaced by a CDC article, and I'm open to any suggestions on the Washington Post article or if I should just delete it!
Ah yes, both of my brain meds are on this, whoo
why my brain is at 20%:
I'm on 4 of these
I'm on 4 of these
being on lurasidone for the past 10+ years is why my heat tolerance is Trash Garbage lol. I guess the sertraline isn't helping either.
(I miss grapefruit so much T_T)

I can't find anything like... a more complete list unfortunately 
but both of those include some I didn't see on the first list, as well as how/why they cause heat intolerance (so you can be mindful of what to look out for)

thanks for the reminder! I often forget of this vulnerability
it all makes so much sense now 
urgh. Good to know....
I have two on the list. Well that explains....
I always forget, EVERY year, that 2 of mine are on this list
Both resources have been updated to newer and accessible articles, thanks for help with the other one, joyriding!
The fact that so many people forget about these side effects is one of the reasons that I've done my best to post this annually! It helps me, it helps others.
I honestly forgot about it until I was talking with my doctor today and she said, "Yeah, that's one of the issues with SSRIs," and I went, "I haven't made my post yet!"
it's a big help, thank you!
It is a big help!
Oh fun. So my already existing PCOS lack of temperature control is just gonna be helped along to bake me this summer. Wheee.
Gracias for the info! Of course my two main medications are on there and I live in California. Of course. On the plus side, my heat tolerance is pretty good in general so it all evens out!
paxil affirmative
Hats and hydration!!
mister bottles too
Aripiprazole and diphenhydramine
Oh, damn. I was taking a few of those for a while
You can check the articles, especially the CDC article, for some more details on how your medication may affect you, and what signs in particular to keep an eye out for.
FSCK, Latuda's on there.
Well, of my 8 meds I'm taking daily, at least there's only one.
If Lamictal/Lamotrogine and/or Valium/Diazepam were on there, there'd be a serious problem.
It's already bad because I get hot flashes from early-induced menopause, so I'm glad I live on the coast of So. Cal. where the temp doesn't fluctuate much. I'll just have to take a lot of cold baths.
It always sucks when folks find their medications unexpectedly on this list, but I’m just glad to spread the word around! Better to figure out the cause of issues before it becomes too much of a problem.
Bumpity bump to continue spreading awareness!
Hello again folks, the heat is still around and making it unbearable!
