Reminder to people on high dosage psych meds

yilduza:

casketscratcher:

especially anti-psychs and SNRIs, these meds increase your body temp and the more you take, the more it does that. You are NOT just “feeling the heat” if you start to feel like you have sunstroke this Summer. You will most likely get it before anyone else so treat yourself as you would treat a small child. Ensure that you stay hydrated and keep an eye on yourself!

I had to remind myself of this because I’ve been feeling the heat a LOT since my dosage was increased and it can actually lead to your meds fucking up/you getting really sick!

Be good to yourself, stay cool!

ETA: People demanding sources.

And be careful because often the full effects of the sun on you don’t show up until later! I once had my body swell up hours after being out and it was horrible. If you’re on antipsychotics especially please stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and try to stay in the shade!
