Has anyone ever had spontaneous or easy or particularly large bruising linked to antidepressants?

The medications are Pristiq and Wellbutrin. I have this inexplicable and very large (a bit bigger than a baseball in diameter) bruise around my elbow I can’t explain and several medical websites listed antidepressants as a possible cause.

Hmm, maybe that explains my bruising. I take Wellbutrin.

I had a bad problem with excessive bruising shortly after I started Effexor. But it evenutally went away. Since Pristique is closely related to Effexor it might be the culprit.
