The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/live/heat-weather-medication-safety.html (excerpt in a reply)

There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

"Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

Dosing levels of #antipsychotics and mood stabilizers in #BipolarDisorder: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acps.13762

1. Higher doses of antipsychotics or mood stabilisers were not associated with better treatment outcomes.

2. Standard doses of #lithium and #aripiprazole were associated with the lowest risk of relapse.

3. "#Quetiapine was not associated with decreased risk of relapse at any dose. ..evidence indicating its poor effectiveness, the wide use of quetiapine should be thoroughly re-evaluated".

#Evidence that we need to invest in staff in #Nursing homes, if we do not want residents to be silenced with #antipsychotics. Appears obvious, but we prefer magic thinking over accepting and addressing realities.

How are you used so often this hour?
Though meant for your use
