Hi . One of the first things u can do is call hematology office and tell them if there any earlier spots Or that if someone cancels u can go sooner . 2nd klonipin is know to cause Pancytpenia meaning rbc platelets and sometimes wbc is low . People are suppose to have blood work every three months on Klonipin . There is many side effects to klonipin Fatigue dizziness sleepy Lack of energy To name a few . You may have to take a holiday from the Klonopin theres many other antiseizure dogs and antidepressant drugs and antisociety drugs that you could try that dont do that while like Connie is good for especially if you have his resting tremor, but its really really not a first line seizure drug or benzo diazepam so that would be the first thing it always usually comes back down to the meds and you should be on B12 at least 500 to 1000 mg a day because that combats theres 360 spots in your body where this is used as a cold factor for bodily functions. It helps combat anxiety. It helps youre supposed to calm help your posture helps your anemia and then number two everybody should be on D3 at least 1000 units Daily.

Bun (blood urea nitrogen) could be that you are drinking too much. It would be good to know the creatinine. If you have gastritis, you could have a slow bleed.
