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.

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."

I swear, my family are a bunch of idiots!

My dying mother decided to go to my cousin's wedding (understandable, I just wish I could have gone with), and her sister decided to be helpful and give her a drug that she knew caused interactions with the #morphine she's on!

Thanks, Dr. Auntie...

She made it back in one piece, and thankfully didn't take the pill, but still!
