Is anyone else who takes Sertraline feeling extra awful with heat??

I have seen messaging saying certain medications including sertraline can make you worse and to take extra care in extreme heat but I feel my internal core is so
hot and cannot cool down despite trying everything - you name it I’ve tried it. Feels like I’m actually cooking inside - anyone else???

Yup. And I'm also on blood pressure medication, so a double whammy.

Me and the cat are lucky enough to be able to hole up in a darkened room with a fan on. I've found draping a cold wet teatowel around my neck and shoulders helps.

But I can barely stand to look at the sun beating down outside, let alone go in it.

Oh, and a footbath filled with cold water helps too.
