No longer feel thirsty… like at all.

I am 24F and have absolutely lost all feelings of being thirsty.

When I wake up, I drink about 6oz of coffee with creamer and sugar. Around 5 hours later, I have a 12oz can of soda with lunch. That’s all I drink all day. I didn’t actually realize I had stopped drinking practically all together until today… From what I can recall, this began around 1.5 weeks ago. I just don’t feel thirsty, so it didn’t even cross my mind that I don’t drink anything at all, all day pretty much.

My urine output has remained the same. No color change, no amount differences—all normal. I had bloodwork done at a doctor’s appointment recently for unrelated issues and my kidney function was normal, as were my electrolytes.

Other things I’ve now taken note of since I’m now noticing my lack of thirst:

• Dizziness upon standing • Increased heart rate (15-20 beats above my normal while resting.) • Chest pain (have been to the ER for this as early heart attacks run in my family history; ECG and chest X-Ray were both normal.)

I take:

• Abilify Maintena 400mg/once every 28 days (Have been on this medication for years.) • Adderall XR 20mg/once daily (Have been on this medication for 2 months.) • Adderall IR 10mg/twice daily as needed (Have been on this medication for 2 months.) • Zepbound 12.5mg/once every 7 days (For weight loss. Have been on this medication since January while titrating dosages up. 12.5mg for almost 2 months now.)

I am diagnosed with:

• Endometriosis • Narcolepsy Type 1 with Cataplexy • A slew of mental health disorders
