Sorry for TMI, but has anyone else's stool turned a whitish color from meds? Mine was like that yesterday for no reason. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this with BP meds, but it was most certainly almost white.
Taking rexulti, Ritalin, lamictal, Klonopin, and lexapro |

That happened to me. Not sure it was meds, but that can be a definitive sign of liver issues.

Hey there, blue!
 So, it's not too much information. I agree with TreyFrancis. I have read white stool can be a sign of liver issues. I cannot say if such is the case for you. If it continues, or if you feel ill, please contact your primary care doc. I hope all else is well! Thinking of you!  WC

White or clay-colored stools can also be a symptom of gallbladder problems. A lot of people don't know that their gallbladder is conking out in the early going, so you may want to check with your primary care provider in any case.

Nope.
Though interestingly, I read a couple of articles recently that suggested SSRIs might also play a role in ulcer development, along with the bacteria Helicolbacter plylori and NSAID use. Or, if not cause the ulcer, worsen a pre-existing one. I was on NSAIDs a lot for fibro, but I've also been on tons of SSRIs. I do think your issue is worth following up with a doc. Think I may soon been calling my gastroenterologist, asking him to check my gallbladder & do a colonscopy, I am having so little appetite. But these stomach surgeries for ulcers can cause vitamin/mineral malabsorptions too, so I don't know, maybe the PCP would be easier to go to first, get tested in for common issues that can be found in the bloodwork.
