I have been taking tamoxifen for 2 years following breast cancer. My white blood cell count is 1.9. Could the tamoxifen be responsible?

Tamoxifen can sometimes cause a decrease in white blood cells. This is usually temporary. Effexor may also have this effect in some people.
If your doctor has evaluated your blood work and has taken note of your present general condition, it would be prudent to follow the evolution of your white blood cells.
Do not hesitate to contact your pharmacist or doctor for more details
