A MAN has the medical profession scratching their heads after a mystery reaction to a commonly prescribed drug changed his skin color from white - to dark gray.

Tyler Monk, 34, was prescribed an anti-depressant last year after consulting a doctor for his mental health.

He started taking the drug in May 2021, but within a week Tyler’s wife, Emily, 28, noticed that his skin color was changing.

Tyler, a pest control field inspector, stopped the medication after only a few weeks as it wasn’t helping his mental health - but his skin continued to darken.

Ahead of his visit with the specialists, Tyler is due to receive a CAT scan of his abdomen and new rounds of blood work.
