Re: The weirdest question ever asked probably

While the others posters have mentioned that perhaps your sense of smell is heightened, I think there is something else going on. My 16 y/old daughter is on Lexapro and we've noticed that she has increased body odor. One of the things I came across is that a magnesium deficincy can cause body odor:

I wonder if this deficiency is due to SSRI use, or if it is caused by stress-induced magnesium wasting. We give magnesium supplements to our daughter, but not consistently or maybe not enough Mg.
