I’ve been on these medications before but not at the same time and I found that they did cause some slight issues with the warmer weather. But now I’m on them together so I’m slightly concerned that they will cause issues etc with hot weather as I had to change from haloperidol due to that burning my skin in hot weather. Has anyone been on these two medications and had any issues with warm/hot weather? I don’t want to change my medication again.
Will my propranolol and quetiapine cause issues in hot weather?

Hi,
What should I avoid while taking quetiapine?
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects could occur.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how quetiapine will affect you. Dizziness or drowsiness can cause falls, accidents, or severe injuries.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise, in hot weather, or by not drinking enough fluids. Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking quetiapine.

Quetiapine
you should know that quetiapine may make it harder for your body to cool down when it gets very hot. While you are taking quetiapine, you should avoid excessive exercise, stay inside as much as possible and dress lightly in hot weather, stay out of the sun, and drink plenty of fluids.
