hello. i have been taking prozac and welbutrin depression medicine for a year now right. i noticed that when i started taking just the prozac my vaginal discharge turned really white. i thought i had a YI, but the doctor said i was healthy. my vaginal fluid has always been white but ever since i have been taking my depression medicine it has been really white. i stoped taking it for a month and the white discharge mild out back to what it use to look like. i told my doctor and he said that discharge wasn't a side effect of the medicine i am taking. My OBGYN said that it was strange also.
has anyone else had this problem with the medication that they take? i am healthy but i was wondering if it was having the same effect on other women.

I would call your ob-gyn and tell them to find out what is going on

I'm on wellbutrin and lithium and having the same problem. I know it's not the lithium because I've been on it for a year and a half. However, I just had my wellbutrin upped to 300 from 150 and have been noticing the same thing. I've done a bit of googling and although it's not listed as a side affect it seems to me that a good amount of women are experiencing a change in discharge from wellbutrin or similar antidepressants. :
I am also on Wellbutrin along with Zoloft and since I've been taking wellbutrin my discharge has changed drastically. Its thicker and more white than usual. I thought I was getting a yeast infection, but there is no smell, discomfort, or itching. I have been searching for this as a side affect but it is not listed, however I have found quite a bit of women on forums saying they are experiencing the same thing with Wellbutrin.
Yes. I've been taking antidepressant since may of this year. My discharge is very heavy and has a strong noticeable odor.
I am so glad I saw this. I have been worried that I might have a YI or worst 0_0. I am only on Wellbutrin and I have had a large increase. I always feel uncomfortablly wet and the discharge is alwaya white (but not chunky and without oder). Thanks for aharing guys, i feel much better now.
I started taking Prozac just one week ago and over the past two days I've been having significant clear water-like vaginal discharge. I have taken other anti-depressants and not had this reaction. I link this reaction directly to taking Prozac as there is nothing different in my diet or meds other than the Prozac. I'm very glad I saw these other comments as it's reassuring to know I'm not alone with this reaction.
Did you ever find this out?
Hi, when I was on Prozac I had some light vaginal bleeding and I am in menopause. My doc said also he'd never heard of that side affect and he put me on something else. That was last year. This week I was put on an antidepressant that is also supposed to help with chronic pain because I injured my back and this morning my discharge was noticeably thicker and pink. So glad to read I'm not the only one. I'm going to ask him to change the med but fully expect him to say he's never heard of this side affect. Mine also makes me very drowsy and depressed. Imagine that, an antidepressant that depresses you. Hate being on these things at all. Take care, you are definitely not alone w the vaginal side effect!
I have experienced a change in my discharge since starting the weight management drug Contrave. It has become thick, white, and creamy. Contrave is a combination of Wellbutrin and another drug. After seeing this thread and some other anecdotal evidence online, I am fairly certain the Wellbutrin component of the Contrave is causing this change in my vaginal secretions.
I am on Wellbutrin and have noticed an increase in discharge, with more whiteness, and a change in odor- not bad, but much stronger.
Since I started Wellbutrin I noticed a change in my discharge - it became quite thick and white and then I switched to contrave and I got an odor almost similar to the drug so I’ve been trying to hydrate more to perhaps combat that... glad to see I’m not the only one...
I have been experiencing the same side effects. I have a doc app Tuesday.
Hi. I’m experiencing the same taking Zooloft. Anything we put in our body is going to react with everything whether good or bad so while this may not be listed as a side effect it’s obviously a side effect from the new and different chemical changes taking place in our bodies. Mine does not smell, I’m healthy as well. The internet is amazing to see so many people with the same issues is assuring.
I’ve been having the same issue. With a very strong odor. It scares me a little. I made an appointment with my doc but what does one do in the meantime? I’m taking 400mg of Bupropion. I’ve also been very dehydrated. Has anyone else felt like that? Does that also cause changes in vaginal discharge?
