Heatwaves are hitting hard—and for some on antidepressants like sertraline, it’s turning into a real struggle. These meds can mess with your body’s cooling system, causing excessive sweating, agitation, and fatigue. People are having trouble sleeping, focusing, and just staying functional. Mental health groups are seeing a surge in reports, warning that these drugs can make you overheat faster, leading to dizziness, nausea, and even heat illness. Health officials urge patients to keep taking their meds as prescribed but take extra care: stay out of the sun, hydrate, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and keep your home cool. If you’re on these meds and feeling the heat, awareness and precautions could be lifesaving.
