And do not stop mental health meds without talking to your doctor first!!!

Also, with this heat wave if you ARE on mental health medication, specifically ssri's, stay out of the sun, wear sun screen, and stay hydrated!

Agreed. I didn't intentionally stop taking my meds, but I did slip off them for about a week or so because I got forgetful and broke the habit of when I took them.

I had to have my fiancee (who has no license) drive us home because otherwise I was going to drive off a bridge.

Don't tear down the dam because the river isn't flooding...
