"Tricyclic antidepressants can cause you to sweat less," Wheate said, "because they act as anticholinergics, which means they basically stop your sweat glands from producing sweat. We sweat to cool down, so if you're not sweating then you can't regulate your body temperature properly and you're likely to overheat."

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, on the other hand, make you sweat more.

...

He suggested having a fan blow over you if you're taking tricyclic antidepressants, so that even though you're sweating less, the sweat you are producing is more effective at wicking away heat from your body.

For those on SSRIs, Wheate said that drinking lots to replace lost fluids is the best thing you can do. But, he said, "you don't want to just drink water — you need to drink something salty or slightly sugary because when you sweat you don't just lose the water, you lose salts and sugars, and you need to replace those."

      research for it being an extremely (compared to the more traditional pharmaceuticals available at least) effective treatment for a myriad of mental health conditions has become overwhelming. most places in the states you can receive it administered at a clinic now. i assume the overall popularity has gotten a big bump from that

        It's insanely expensive to do that, so maybe that's why you can get it for the price of cocaine now. I don't fuck with it, everyone "knows a guy who knows the chemist and it's 100% pure shit dude"

          When you do it in a clinic they hook you up to a machine that injects a measured dose intravenously over the course of 45 minutes to an hour. They also titrate the dose as you go.

          I believe it's starting to get covered by more insurance companies.

          Idk if it works the same way if you snort it.

          Also: higly reccomend Pink Floyd's "the wall" as musical accompaniment

        I once had to watch someone in a K-Hole for 30 minutes to make sure they were still alive. He told me he was exploring a crystal cavern and saw a goblin.

          Yeah. About a decade ago marijuana wasn't just supported on reddit-logo : it was an obnoxious hyperbolized cure-everything no-side-effects-no-downsides brobro thing to push on everyone at all possible times.

            Years ago my buddy worked in a hospital and overheard some dipshit tell the doc that his mom's cancer went into remission after smoking wax every day.

              Wow, that’s why so many old ladies are buying wax melters and little wax cubes?
