Every summer I forget just how powerfully psych meds can cause overheating. And I drink a lot of water, I love water. Still, I overheated. I'm going to be much more careful. I'm posting this so we're all aware of the psych med/sensitivity to heat thing this summer. (Except for poor Nammu, who is still cold.)

I have had problems with dehydration for years. I try to avoid caffeine during hot days. I also drink more water than I need but the last I got dehydrated I had to go to the hospital. My intestine actually become paralyzed and my body starts to shut down also when this happens my Gastroparesis kicks in. My last trip after everything was taken care of cost me over $4000 out of of pocket. I don't mess around with getting hydrated these day.
