What Causes Low Platelet Count?

I was wondering what would cause my platelets to go below 100k and my WBC count to be around 2.6 for several years. Meds: Wellbutrin, Zoloft 50 mg, Klonopin 3 mg/day, Restoril HS. The readings have been consistent for 5 years, but slowly dropping. Is it the Klonopin?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Klonopil can cause decreased blood platelets.
I would advise you to substitute it with Diazepam.
Also you need to do complete blood count test every 1 month.

Hope I have answered your query.
