With summer on the way I thought is might be a good idea to let others know that taking antipsychotics greatly increases a person’s risk of heat stroke.

Dehydration can also cause lithium levels to become toxic.

Antipsychotics can make it harder for us to sweat. Sweating is the bodies best way of cooling down when things are hot. If you are new to antipsychotics be sure to have an Air Conditioner on standby and a trusty bottle of water full when things are hot.

Be sure to drink water and stay out of the sun and heat.

I’m going to add some links in a comment for information related to this.
