I have VWD type 3 and would like to find antidepressants that will not effect my bleeding. Is there anything available?

Antidepressants may be used in VWD treatment. The most common types of antidepressants are SSRIs, which could potentially lead to platelet dysfunction, but the data is not conclusive in that area.  Talk to your doctor about whether the use of SSRIs on a trial period is feasible, and follow symptoms.  Lastly, note that there is a warning on the SSRI box on an increase in bruising.
