Bone marrow suppression as a side effect

I'm a 21 year old female with eye problems and I think I'm having a severe adverse reaction to my medications. A few months ago I was diagnosed with uveitis and put on prednisolone drops. After a months of those, I got really high eye pressure and was taken on off prednisolone drops. Currently I'm taking bromfenac brinzolamide/brimonidine drops as prescribed. It's been a week since I'm taking these drops, and ever since I started taking them, I've been feeling terrible. I'm extremely tired, I feel feverish with very cold hands and feet, severe headaches, I have chills, low appetite and generally feel unwell. However, I don't have a cough or runny nose or any other respiratory infection signs. I did a red blood cell count on myself using blood from my fingertip and got 2.5 million cells/microliter, which is rather low. A rare side effect of these eye drops I'm currently on is bone marrow suppression, and i think I have that. My eye pressure is fine now. Can I stop taking the drops?
