A member asked:
What type of wbc do anti-anxiety meds affect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: White blood cells are not affected by anti-anxiety medicines, usually. It is true that any medicine can result in an extremely rare idiosyncratic bone marrow suporession -- usually leucopenia. But this would be exceptionally rare.
