> Anyone else experienced a low WBC that has been may have been attributable to psych meds?Yes. My WBC normally runs toward the low end of the reference range anyway, and psych meds seemed to drop it a bit below the reference range. Neurontin was the initial suspect. But after stopping neurontin, it was still slightly low. We suspect it was the Lamictal. It was ultimately decided that this was a non-issue as my WBC count was stable, not very far below the reference range, and I was not prone to infections. So we kept the Lamictal and did not worry about it.
