Sasha Hamdani MDCommon psychiatric drug classes that cause heat intolerance include: Antipsychotics: Prescribed for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They directly suppress sweating and impair thermoregulation (Risperidone, Olanzapine, Quetiapine, Haloperidol, Clozapine) SSRIs and SNRIs: Common antidepressants that can disrupt normal body temperature and cause excessive or reduced sweating (Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Escitalopram, Citalopram, Venlafaxine, Duloxetine) Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs): Alter chemical balances and block receptors, severely reducing the body's ability to sweat (Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline, Imipramine, Clomipramine) CNS Stimulants: Prescribed for ADHD. They elevate core body temperature and dull the body's natural thirst signals (Methylphenidate, Amphetamine, Dextroamphetamine) Mood Stabilizers: Can cause excessive urination, leading to dangerous fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances (Lithium)
