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 had a bad night last night, up every hour to run to the bathroom...again. I do take my diuretics in the evening & I WAS late taking them, but still...
I do take them in the evening because they are more efficient then, but normally, they've done their initial thing long before I go to bed. Last night was out of the ordinary!
So today kind of sucks. Low energy from interrupted sleep. A newborn baby doesn't wake up as often as I did last night!
