Platelets count of 2000, but sent home?I was in the emergency room for bruising and petechiae. They checked my blood and everything came back within normal range except my platelets which came back at 2. They said I need to see an expert so they sent me home and told me to follow up with hematology tomorrow. They gave me 40 mg of dexamethasone. When I was there they made it seem like no big deal, but now when Im researching it Im a bit concerned. Other stories say people were immediately hospitalized for levels of 5-10 and efforts were made to quickly increase their levels. Now I cant sleep because Im so worried and cant find any real answers. Should I be concerned that they sent me home? Is 2 a level that will cause me to die in my sleep or something?25 female 53 150 lbs Regularly Prescribed 150 mg lamictal and 50 mg Vyvanse Dont smoke or use any recreational drugs Only other health problem is possible PCOS (based on polycystic appearing ovaries and low SHBG) I also currently have a cold if thats relevant?

uhh... yeah not sure why they would've sent you home. Was it a community hospital? Is there a university hospital nearby?
Topimax for weight loss, Vraylar+Lexapro+Wellbutrin for depression/anxiety/ptsd. When I said I was healthy I meant physically healthy? Guess I shouldve said fat. I do have narcolepsy, I forgot to say that but I view it as so separate. But ty for the info about the glyco and topamax! Ill bring that up with my doc and see if maybe that has to do with it. No new meds, latest one was Xywav in the summer.
While Topiramate does induce weight loss it's not usually my first choice. In addition, it's usually contraindicated in people with mental health disorders and is known to increase the risk of suicide. It also causes drowsiness and you already have narcolepsy. Given the interraction with the glycopyrrolate as well I'd discuss with your physician about transitioning to another agent such as a GLP1 agonist if the goal is really just weight loss.
