Some drugs have caused my body odor (bouquet) to change, but I don't remember which ones. Without encouraging Cam to add any further input, I will guess that some drugs manage to make their way out pores and sweat glands. Just like garlic.I can think of other reasons, but my attempts at further conjecture will only serve to stink up the place.
Drugs can also change the senses of smell and taste. Lamictal produced the latter effect, taste perversion, but it disappeared pretty quick.
