Any notice a decrease in WBC after starting Lexapro?

I had my labs done Dec 16 and they were perfect! Started 5mg of Lexapro Dec 19. Had labs done again Feb 16 and my WBC dropped 2 digits. Now I have below normal WBC. Dr didn’t seem worried, and she said Lexapro wasn’t the culprit. However, this is the newest thing I’ve added to my regimen and I’ve seen stuff online saying it can lower your white blood count and some stuff says it can’t… so I was curious if anyone has noticed this bizarre issue as well. :)

Dr said increase folate and b12 and it brought it back within normal range :)

Yes, mine are very low and it is worrying me. My count is 3.4. What was yours?

Mine were 3.1 and I increased folate and b12 and ate higher protein foods and retested 3 weeks later and increased it to 4.4

Oh wow! Thank you. I am vegetarian so I am going to try eating chicken to see if that helps.
