Esrd Patient
UpdatedI'm an esrd patient, on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. I was just prescribed lyrica for multiple pain sites. I've been reading, and am concerned about my future kidney function. Also my mother has Immacular holes in her eyes, they told her that's past two me. I already wear glasses. And I don't like the addictive side, I was taking oxycodone 15mg 3-4 daily. But was told they could kill me, because they build up in the kidneys. I like how they worked on my pain. But feeling scared to try lyrica

Hello, TN Rog! How are you?
It has been known to cause kidney stones in some people, which could be dangerous for you, if you already have impaired kidney function.
And yes, it can also cause ocular damage, though it isn't common.
Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?
